FRIDAY

 

No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.

~1 John 2:23~

Prayer Focus

Pray for the churches who have not packed their shoeboxes yet. It’s a big job, no matter how many you are packing! For new OCC leadership, it is especially difficult. I know they will appreciate your prayers. They probably could use some extra help. Ask if you can help!

Read the Bible

  • Friday
  • I Timothy 4: 9-22
  • “Tough times demand that I become . . . .”

Personal Prayer Time

Pray for the people on your prayer list. All of you are aware of needs I do not know of. Often, these needs are family related. Today, pray for those needs.

If you do not have a special place to write needs, today surely is a good day to find something like a little notebook ($1.00 at a dollar store) and begin.
