CHILDREN'S CHURCH

• Praying for our youth, May through August. "The battle for our children's lives is waged on our knees. When we don't pray, it's like sitting on the sidelines watching our children in a war zone getting shot at from every angle. When we do pray, we're in the battle alongside them, appropriating God's power on their behalf. If we also declare the Word of God in our prayers, then we wield a powerful weapon against which no enemy can prevail." - Stormie Omartian; Names for the week of June 11: Lauren Yutzy and Heather Vaccaro.
