DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME ENDS

• Suggested prayer for families facing illness: Use prelude or offertory to sit in silent prayer for Pam, Doug Nyce's sister, (diagnosed with lung cancer). In your time with God, visualize their family and others you know who are facing serious illness, trouble, or decision making: usher them into God's presence for his touch, help, and clear direction.


• Use this scripture of reassurance when facing crisis: Call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me. (Psalm 50:15) It helps to remember that God wants us to come to him in our time of need.


Prayer concerns may be sent to: zionprayerroom@aol.com.
