TUESDAY

Surely,he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted.

Good Morning, my friends. I’m so happy you are back today. Let’s plan to make this Tuesday a good day despite the circumstances the world throws at us. Our God is a good and loves us very dearly. Let’s always remember that.

Prayer Focus

Today, let’s plan to do a good deed for someone. You get to choose the good deed. Be a blessing to someone today. Before you do a good deed, pray about that person. Then, go into action if God gives you a “green light”.

Prayer Request

Pray for the Sharkey family and the many friends of Chase.

Operation Christmas Child

Last week, we had a new volunteer worker. Yesterday, David and I gave her the opportunity to help. She loved it and plans to return. That’s what our end of OCC is all about – giving of your time, working with others, and learning about the “Shoebox” process. Our new volunteer is ready to work again.

Each year, we have painted our boxes before adding special decorations. This year, we left off the paint and tried a new process. I’m very happy to report our boxes are ready for folding into a box shape. We will be waiting a while, but will be calling on our men to fold the boxes for that step.

Now, we are finalizing our shopping by purchasing a few more of several items. It is all coming together nicely. We will be doing an inventory in the next few days to determine our final needs.

Back to School Needs

Think carefully about the children and teens you know who might need uniforms or school supplies for the coming year. You might be able to meet that need or turn the name over to someone who can.

August is just ahead.

It is not a cool month, so plan your days accordingly.

Ask God What He Has for You Today.

Then, do it.
