From Transfigurations:
Dear Readers,
Today is a day of prayer and fasting for the people of St. Andrew's Church, Syracuse, NY ending with a prayer vigil at the church tonight at 7:00 pm.
Tomorrow, at 10:00 am there will be a court appearance before Judge James Murphy where lawyers for the Episcopal Diocese of Central New York and Bishop Skip Adams will be attempting to stop the transfer of all monies within the church, effectively shutting the church down. Attorneys Raymond Dague and Robert Genant will present oral arguments to counter these motions and are seeking to dismiss the bishop's lawsuit to seize St. Andrew's Church.
Please be at prayer for us today and tomorrow! -Pat Dague
"Our prayers lay the track down by which God's power can come. Like a mighty locamotive His power is irresistable, but it cannot reach us without rails." Watchman Nee
A Roundup of Links from Central NY
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written,
“For your sake we are being killed all the day long;
we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:31-39
