Sunday Update

Good Afternoon,
Hope you have found time this weekend to get out and enjoy the warmer weather and the sunshine! We have.

Please continue to pray for us and our busy week ahead. I’m a little anxious about Liv’s appointment tomorrow and Elena’s appointment on Wednesday.

I keep reminding myself of the verse and its promise….”Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and mind in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:9

Here’s this week’s Faith In Action verse and suggestions:

Week 3 - February 13
"Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and generous to those in need, always being ready to share with others."
1 Timothy 6:18

*On Valentine's Day, do something special for someone who would least expect it
*Send $20 or whatever you can afford to someone who is having financial difficulties
*Ask God to help you share Christ with someone He brings to you, and watch for the opportunity to do that
*Try to re-establish a relationship that ended badly
*Ask a waiter, "How can I pray for you today when I give thanks for my food?"
*Write a note of encouragement to someone who needs it
*Do a prayer walk or a prayer ride around your neighborhood or a local school
*Call a school and offer to mentor a child or teen, read to a class or help in whatever way is needed
*Check out some opportunities for service at a non-profit organization

Here are some organizations that we have been involved with.
