Today’s prayer

CMS’s people in mission are supported by a network – friends and family, CMS supporters and CMS staff, particularly our personnel leads. Today, lift up CMS’s personnel leads as they seek to balance administrative tasks with pastoral care and support all CMS’s people in mission through highs, lows and everything in-between.

Our prayers are shared daily on our Facebook feed

and on the Prayermate app
