Second Sunday of Lent (Prayer)

February 21, 2016 by ESN Announce Leave a Comment

Mafa100-mediumAs Lent continues, ESN will share collects from The Book of Common Prayer and prayer requests. Scholar’s Compass will continue, but will  appear on weekdays instead of Sundays.

Collect for the Second Sunday in Lent,  Book of Common Prayer  

O God, whose glory it is always to have mercy: Be gracious  to all who have gone astray from thy ways, and bring them  again with penitent hearts and steadfast faith to embrace and hold fast the unchangeable truth of thy Word, Jesus Christ  thy Son; who with thee and the Holy Spirit liveth and reigneth, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.*

Prayer requests for the week:

  1. That Christian academics would find rest and a chance to reflect during Lent, in spite of the busy season.
  2. That this season would be a great time for us to learn from our brothers and sisters in our churches, whatever their vocations or passions, and that the whole body of Christ would be edified by all the  members sharing their gifts.

ESN Announce

The Emerging Scholars Network is always seeking opportunities to identify, encourage, and equip the next generation of Christian scholars to be a redeeming influence in the academy, church, and the world. As you have an announcement, a “call for papers”, an event, a prayer request (e.g., campus, field, higher ed), a resource suggestion, a review, etc., which is in concord with our Kingdom of God endeavor, please send materials (marketing/sales material not accepted) for consideration to post via email or the ESN Writer Survey. Thank you.
