8 Shaping Our World Let s unite in prayer for our leaders at this crucial time in Canada: 1 Tim 2:1-4 I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people, for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our savior, who wants all people to be save and to come to a knowledge of the truth. Let s pray for the truth to prevail and for God to use this vulnerable time of shaking to touch the hearts and lives of our leaders and for people to turn to God. Psalm 2:10-11 Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear and celebrate his rule with trembling.

Come and see the place where he lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples: He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him. Now I have told you. 8 So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. Matthew 28:5-8 (NIV)
