If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14
I pray our nation continues to look up to our God for his love and guidiance in all we do. May He continue to bless our people.

O.C.C. WORKDAY
God blessed us with many “Willing Hearts” and “Willing Hands” yesterday. It was a such a blessing. to be there and witness groups of people doing so many tasks and loving whatever their hands were doing. Thank-you , God, for blessing members of our church as you are blessing children through Samaritan’s Purse.
PRAYER FOCUS
