• PRAY that God would increase our faith in Him & our faithfulness to the church as we take on the 2007 financial mission.


• INTERCEDE for our leaders (political and spiritual): “I urge…that requests, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving be made for everyone—for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior.” - I Peter 2:1—3
