PRAYER works! Thank you for keeping our covenant partners and their families in your prayers this week. We do our best to keep prayer requests updated daily; however, if you see a request listed that is no longer accurate, we would love to know the update. This helps guide the Care Team and covenant partners who receive the daily prayer lists on how to pray for the requester’s specific needs. If the requester is not able to express their needs but allows someone else to express their needs, they can contact Lisa at the office or submit an update with a new prayer request.
Lift up Pastor Chad on Monday, 2/16 at 5:00 p.m.
as he defends his Doctor of Ministry dissertation. Pray for his peace, clarity, and wisdom; that his committee is fair and encouraging; and that God is glorified throughout the process. Thank God for equipping Pastor Chad’s faithful pursuit of growth and leadership and the myriad ways this dissertation is already a blessing to our congregation.
Thank you all for supporting us at the ECO National Gathering in Atlanta.
