Prayer for Today, Monday, April 23

Loving and Gracious God,

 

A new week is before us. What will it hold? Will we see new opportunities for witness and service? Will we embrace new acquaintances, leading to new friendships? Will we be overwhelmed by the beauty and majesty of your creation, even in our everyday lives? Will we have the opportunity to help someone in need? Will we be Jesus’ hands and feet in the world?  There are so many possibilities. Please empower us, O Lord, to see the opportunities that lie before us and then to act on them as followers of Jesus’ This is our prayer in his name. AMEN.

A special “Thank you” to Jeanette Heitfeld, Jack Weston and John Wheeler for faithfully serving in Don’s and my absence. We are blessed with so many servants at Central.

 

Reports are that the Women’s Walk to Emmaus was a great success. We have a wonderful facility and I am pleased we can share it with others.

 

The General Board meeting is going well with full days of business and planning. I will be flying back to Oklahoma tomorrow afternoon.
