Thank you again for faithfully bringing these & other needs of our parish before our wonderful Lord who has promised to hear & answer all our prayers. What a tremendous privilege we have to be able to come before the throne of Almighty God with our prayer & praise & know this is what He wants us to do. May we also quietly listen to Him as He speaks to us as we read His word, worship with others & meditate on the beauty of His creation & His great love for us in sending Jesus.
of God's faithful provision for all His children.
