Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth; Yours is the dominion, O LORD, and You exalt Yourself as head over all.

Prayer Requests
In just three short weeks, Christian Union faculty and students have had almost 1,600 face-to-face meetings with new students! Praise God for the 282 freshmen that have already signed up for weekly Bible courses. There are still three more weeks of intentional, focused time to reach out to these new students.
Right now at each campus where Christian Union operates, its ministries are in the midst of fall conferences. Please pray many freshmen attend. Students who attend experience a rich weekend of scriptural instruction, prayer, and relationship building. Pray for the Gospel of Jesus Christ to be proclaimed, understood, and accepted by many. As students return to campus from these conferences, pray for the continued growth of community, resulting in solid Christian fellowship for any students looking to connect.
Princeton, Dartmouth and Brown commence later than the other Christian Union ministries; they have just begun their outreach to incoming freshmen. Please pray for much grace, energy, and endurance for all of the Christian Union faculty and upperclassmen that have spent and are spending incredible hours and effort developing relationships with these new students. Also pray for students to recognize their need for a relationship with God, so they will begin to explore ways to develop it.
