TUESDAY

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,  neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

~Romans 8:38-39~

Prayer Focus

Today, let’s focus our attention on families who plan a trip, a few hours or a few days, before school begins again. Pray for a good time, as well as a safe, healthy trip. Pray for them as the children as they settle back into their school routine again.

Thank-you for helping again this year.

Update on “Shoeboxes”

Our most recent activity was writing a message and having children color hand-drawn pictures on the back of photographs showing our children working on shoebox items. They have turned out well.

If you have something you wish to include in The Prayer Link….

  1. Write it on paper and hand it to me at church.
  2. Write it on paper and mail it to me at home.
  3. Call me at home.

I often meet people in the community who tell me they read TPL. Sometimes, I don’t know them, but they have put me together with reading TPL. Thank you for sharing the information. Sometimes people call or come by to ask about how to find TPL. All these ways work. Thank you for sharing. Many times I write to our church members, but most of the time what I write if helpful to others too.
