Benediction

This weekend, may we take a sabbatical from wrestling and bask in the light of good friends, times of rest, and the strength of our God.

Some prayer requests for the journey:
On Thursday of last week LeAnn G. shared a concern with us regarding her aging parishioner who had just been diagnosed with a terminal illness. He died this week and his funeral is on Sunday. Please pray for LeAnn as she helps plan his funeral and ministers to his family and friends. Pray also for her as she mourns the loss of a special congregant.

Continue to pray for Flower from Burma. Pray also for Purity from Burma who is searching for funding sources for her university studies.

Pray for Mandy M. and her doctoral studies. Pray that she will have extra strength for the journey and time to have fun in addition to studying.

Pray for the work of the Christian Women's Leadership Center in Birmingham, AL.

Pray for Lori and Jacob as they navigate many upcoming changes.

Amen.
