Let’s begin by thanking the Lord for –
· His amazing love – what a joy, security, and comfort this truth brings to our hearts
· The chapter’s Zoom club kids – each Wednesday they are there, Bible verse memorized, eager to learn, and just drinking in the truth of God’s Word
· The trustworthiness of His true and eternal Word
Pray with us for –
· The needed prep and promotion of our March 30 Easter Egg Hunt – ask the Lord for dry and sunny weather; needed supplies; volunteers; and above all, the truth of His resurrection will be proclaimed effectively
· Good News Clubs® meeting this week (last Thursday’s club at Chaney-Monge had to be cancelled due to health issues)
· Russell, Mike’s TCE™ Level 2 online student with Children’s Ministries Institute® — Mike is his proctor; Russell has his first practicum is due in the next few days
· Summer ministry – have several invitations for locations; we desire a couple of summer missionaries – ask our Lord to provide us with teens of His choosing
· CEF workers and volunteers in war-torn areas of our world – their safety, effectiveness, and protection
· His continued supply for our financial needs – if you would wish to partner with us in this way, go to our chapter website (www.cef3rivers.com) and click on the word “Donate” along the top of every page. Thanks for your consideration.
· The local churches in our chapter area and their leadership – may they each see the value and importance of ministry to kids
· We, His Body, might have an ever-growing sense of our Lord’s sovereignty and peace – remember, God is in control
· The clubs being held in schools throughout our chapter and state
· Clubs to soon begin at Morris Grade School, Elwood, Aux Sable, and Saratoga
Our theme for this year is the priority of prayer – please pray like never before for the children because “it is not the Father’s will that any of them shall perish” (Matthew 18:14). Thanks so very much! Blessings, Mike – Hebrews 12:1 – 3
