Join Us In 52 Weeks Of Prayer

Each week during our prayer time we will highlight a specific group in our community (local law enforcement, schools, hospitals, military, government leaders, foster care/DCS, farmers, missionaries, etc.) as is an intentional way for our congregation to remain prayerful, outwardly focused, and unified as we intercede for our community and beyond.

This week's prayer focus is on: Eastern Hancock Schools (Charlottesville, IN).

We are praying over the whole school corporation—elementary, middle, and high school—for God’s favor, protection, unity, and spiritual work.

Prayer Points
Let’s pray with intention for this district:
  • Unity across the district: Pray that all schools (elementary, middle, high) would function as one body, supporting and encouraging one another, with shared vision.
  • Students: Pray for every student in K–12 — for growth in heart and mind, for protection, for strong character, for openness to truth and kindness to one another.
  • Teachers & Staff: Pray for the ~79 classroom teachers and all support staff. That they would have endurance, creativity, love, and divine wisdom as they educate and mentor.
  • Leadership & Administration: Pray for district leaders, school principals, and their teams — for clear direction, discernment, compassion, and boldness to make wise decisions under pressure.
  • Extracurricular & Enrichment Programs: Pray for the makerspace, FFA, arts, athletics, and other programs to flourish; that they would be fertile ground for leadership, creativity, confidence, and positive relationships.
  • Those Struggling or Hurting: Pray for students or families facing hardship — whether home instability, loneliness, emotional struggle — that God’s peace and comfort would reach them, and that caring adults in the schools would notice and intervene.
  • Spiritual Openness & Gospel Access: Pray for opportunities for Christian influence in this public district — for students to have access to gospel conversations, Christian clubs or groups, mentors, and for believers in the school to be light by love, humility, and boldness.
  • Safety & Protection: Pray for physical security, relational safety, emotional well-being across campuses; for wisdom in handling conflict, bullying, social pressures.
  • Revival & Flourishing: Pray for spiritual renewal in the district — that hearts would be awakened to God, that Christian students would be encouraged to stand firm, and that many would come to know Christ.
Scripture:
“Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:11

May God pour out His blessing on Eastern Hancock Schools, using them to shape futures, transform hearts, and shine His light in that community.
