Thursday

But when you ask,

you must believe and not doubt,

because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea,

blown and tossed by the wind.

-James 1:6-

Betty Taylor asks that we pray for her sister, Sandra, who has problems with her lungs, as well as some other issues.

Our youth are home from camp. Thank God each one was able to go and come home safely. Let’s pray what they learned will be an influencing factor in their lives. They will give a brief report to the church Sunday morning. Thank God for their safe trip and for all they learned and experienced.

Sunday will be Mission Dignity day at church. There will be an offering taken for needy retired pastors and wives.
