• Pray for Nell Alger, who will be undergoing knee replacement surgery in Augusta Medical Hospital.


• Prayer: Be prepared. You’re up against far more than you can handle on your own. Take all the help you can get, every weapon God has issued, so that when it’s all over but the shouting you’ll still be on your feet…Pray hard and long. Pray for your brothers and sisters. Keep your eyes open. Keep each other’s spirits up so that no one falls behind or drops out. (Ephesians 6:13-18 Msg)
  Who is God prompting you to pray for this week? Perhaps He will also ask you to call and encourage that person.
