CONGREGATIONAL WATCHWORD 2026
Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord's coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains. James 5:7
Lord of mercy, grace, and Spirit of unending hope. Lord, we confess our weariness, our missteps, and our loss of vision. We confess where pride has replaced humility, where comfort hindered our purpose, and where tradition has overshadowed truth. Forgive us for where we have clung to the past and lost sight of Your direction for us now.
Thank you, Lord, for Your faithfulness to us during these times. Thank you for keeping this house of worship, and for the many blessings You have bestowed upon us, your children. It is only through Your grace that we have been able to continue on over the years.
May we listen closely now for Your voice and not our own. We ask You for strength and knowledge of Your will, and the willing obedience to rebuild Your church. Help us to honor what You have done here as we entrust the future to Your hands. Christ, our cornerstone, we sit at your feet and ask that You remain with us. Be our guide, our peace, and our hope.
In Your holy name we pray.
Amen.

UNITY PRAYER WATCH HISTORY
Recognizing the importance of prayer, in 1727 there were 24 men and 24 women in the Moravian community of Hernnhut who committed themselves to round-the-clock prayer. Each man and woman prayed for one hour a day for the needs of the church and the Kingdom. This prayer chain continued for over 100 years, unbroken and yielding amazing fruit. It was during this time that God led the Moravians to pioneer world missions as we know them. This tradition of round- the-clock prayer was re-instituted in 1957, on the 500th anniversary of the Moravian Church.
Each Moravian congregation around the world is asked to pray for one day. You may pray at home, at work, at church, wherever.
