LCS – One in Prayer for the Lutheran Church in Singapore (LCS)
Items for DECEMBER 2025 – LCS
Dear fellow LCS Pastors,
Thank you all for your participation over the last 2 years of this prayer bulletin. As announced in our November Co-workers Meeting, from January 2026 onwards One In Prayer will no longer be produced pending a review. Therefore the December 2025 One In Prayer will be the last issue.
One In Prayer was intended as a practical way to encourage and inform all the LCS congregations to pray for each other and for the ministries of the LCS. This bulletin provided Pastors with needed information for use in the Prayer of the Church. It could also be distributed for use in Prayer meetings, small group meetings and family or personal prayers. However, feedback has indicated that it was not widely used.
As the Prayer and Worship Committee reviews this, we will value your feedback and suggestions as to how we may best facilitate our LCS congregations to pray for one another regularly. Please feel free to contribute your ideas via WhatsApp to me.
May the Lord bless you all and unite us in prayer.
Ps Soh G K
LCS Prayer & Worship Committee Chairman
