Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.

John 3:5

Bad News

This morning, I read a weather forecast for us this summer: less rain and higher temperatures. It will be hot and dry like last summer!

Prayer Focus

Pray for the countries of the middle east and for our country. There is much unrest.

Update on Kathy Wales

Kathy was having an issue with low blood pressure so she stayed another night in the hospital. Everything else was doing fine. Pray the blood pressure is better today and everything else remains the same. Then, she will be able to leave the hospital and go to Baton Rouge to be with family.

Update on Others

Pray for Mr. “Cete” Dillon, Alice Faye Lee, Betty Catherine Hatcher, Theople Hurst, Keith Allen, and others on your prayer list.
