Mark 8:34-38
34 Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 35 For whoever wants to save their life[b] will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it. 36 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? 37 Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? 38 If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”

Prayer Points
 As America’s oldest seaport, our authentic working waterfront highlights our maritime pride across our beaches, restaurants, museums, historical attractions and the oldest working art colony in North America.  A place to see, feel, and taste history, Gloucester’s mix of beauty, fun, and character have drawn fans for over four hundred years.

1) For revival in Gloucester, and that Christians would commit themselves to being living sacrifices for God, according to Romans 12:1-2
3) For strength and unity among area Christian churches in prayer, worship, faithfulness to the Word of God, and in service to the approximately 30,835 Gloucester residents  
4) For the Christian churches to stay strong in this season, with a continuing focus to reach the community with the Gospel
5) For the Body of Christ to pray for the people of Gloucester, and that they would turn to God for all their needs
6) For the softening of the hearts of the people in Gloucester in response to the Holy Spirit and the Gospel of Jesus Christ  
7) That the power and purity of the Gospel being preached would be received and transform the hearts and lives of the people in Gloucester
8) For Mayor Greg Verga, a lifelong Gloucester resident, who was sworn in on 1/1/22).  Mayor Verga has long been committed to serving his community, and had previously served Gloucester for eight years on the School Committee, followed by six years on City Council. He firmly believes that local government should be transparent, collaborative, efficient, and conducted with respect and civility.  He proudly states, “Our wonderful people are resilient, hardworking, creative and endearing.  We love life here in Gloucester - and when you visit this genuine destination, we are confident you’ll love it too!"
9) For all city officials, especially Chief of Police Ed Conley, and the entire Police Department.  They are “committed to excellence in law enforcement and are dedicated to the people, traditions, and diversity of our City. In order to protect life and property, prevent crime, and reduce the fear of crime, we will provide service with understanding, response with compassion, performance with integrity, and law enforcement with vision.”
10) For families, schools, businesses, organizations, and  churches, as they live and work together toward safe and healthy neighborhoods, and a thriving city
