Thank you for the victory and power in your name. Thank you that you had a plan, that you made a way through the Resurrection of Jesus. We confess our need for you….fresh….new….again. We ask that you renew our hearts, minds, and lives, for the days ahead. We pray for your refreshing over us. Shine you light in us, through us, over us. May we make a difference in this world, for your glory and purposes. Set your way before us that we may reflect your peace and hope to a world that so desperately needs your presence and healing. In Jesus’ name, Amen From the desk of Scott: For as the earth produces its sprouts, And as a garden causes the things sown in it to spring up, So the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise To spring up before all the nations.                                                                 ~Isaiah 61:11 -Please continue to pray for peace, reconciliation, and justice for our country and world. -May 2nd will be our next Children’s Sunday School Zoom at 1:00 pm.  Prayers for: Barbara McLaughlin Irene White With Sympathy Our prayers and sympathy are with the family and friends of church member Robert (Bob) Titterington, who died April 6^th.  Bob’s daughter, Lisa DellaBarba, is also a church member. ♦♦♦♦♦ Good news!
