Psalm 126:3   The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.

1 Thessalonians 5:12-22
12 Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to acknowledge those who work hard among you, who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you. 13 Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other. 14 And we urge you, brothers and sisters, warn those who are idle and disruptive, encourage the disheartened, help the weak, be patient with everyone. 15 Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone else.16 Rejoice always, 17 pray continually, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not treat prophecies with contempt 21 but test them all; hold on to what is good, 22 reject every kind of evil.

Prayer Points:
1) For strength and unity among area Christian churches in prayer, worship, faithfulness to the Word of God, and ministry to the approximately 122,191 Dorchester residents.  The Boston population is almost 676,000; that means almost 1 out of every 5 people in Boston are living in Dorchester!
2)  For revival in Dorchester, and that Christians would commit themselves to being living sacrifices for God, according to Romans 12:1-2
3) For the Christian churches to stay strong in this season, with a continuing focus to reach their communities with the Gospel
4) For the Body of Christ to pray for the people in Dorchester, and that they would turn to God for all their needs
5) That the power and purity of the Gospel being preached would be received and transform the hearts and lives of the people in Dorchester
6) For the softening of the hearts of the people in Dorchester in response to the Holy Spirit and the Gospel of Jesus Christ  
7) That the relationships between the churches and city government and local agencies would be one of mutual support, and that the churches and church members would be a resource and a strengthening force for the city during these difficult times
8) For all city officials, especially Governor Maura Healey, Mayor Michelle Wu, Police Commissioner Michael Cox, and the entire Police Department
