It’s so nice to have you back today!

Verse of the Day

Prayer Focus

Today, let’s focus on friends we do not hear from often. What is going on in their world? Give them a call or speak to someone else who can tell you about them. If you learn of any needs, prayers, home, medical needs, phone call, etc., do your best for your friend.

Additional Scripture to Read and Think On

‘Blasphemy!’

Matthew 12:31-32

 And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but ….

God expects us to show our love for others.

Be a volunteer. What can you do? If you cannot figure that out, ask someone. You can cook, rock babies, teach a lesson, make a purchase, pray, paint a door, drive a vehicle, and so many other things.
