FRIDAY

Verse of the Day

Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,

Acts 3:19

Prayer Focus

Today, let’s focus our prayers on children who are soon to be out of school. Are adequate plans in place for their care, safety, and activities for the coming summer? Let’s pray for our children and summer 2024.

Homebound

There are many houses in our area where older people live. Many are alone. Let’s pray they have a system for calling for someone when there is need for assistance. If you know they have needs in this area, offer to help them as needed.
