The theme of NAC India’s 2019 calendar is “Prayer”. The monthly calendar texts are based on a doctrinal article by Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider which was published in the community member magazine 04/2018 (starts on page 20). This prayer series explores and elaborates on each month’s topic.
Peace inside and outside
The International Day of Prayer for Peace on 21 September is observed around the world and unites Christians in their wish that “Peace be with you” effectively becomes possible.
For the midweek Divine Services in India, verses 7 to 9 from Psalm 122 will be the focus of the sermon: “Peace be within your walls, prosperity within your palaces. For the sake of my brethren and companions, I will now say, ‘Peace be within you. Because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek your good.”
These few words express an important hope: may this peace still draw many people into its spell. Peace in our own hearts, in our family, in our congregation, and in the wonderful world in which we all live.
