Let us pray for….

  • Our tweens and teens, that they would have spiritual and mental health, growing Christian friendships, deepening identity formation in Jesus, and harmonious relationships with their parents.
  • The elderly with memory struggles: that they are filled with comfort, hope and joy; that God shows them each day how to serve him.
