Good Morning, Ministry Partner!

Be Encouraged by God's Word
For he delivers the needy when they call,
    the poor and those who have no helper.
He has pity on the weak and the needy,
    and saves the lives of the needy.
From oppression and violence he redeems their life;
    and precious is their blood in his sight.

- Psalm 72:12-14, NRSV

Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims
When we get waylaid from our walk with God by busyness, depression, family problems, or worse, God does not abandon us.

- Brennan Manning

Pray Together with Us
O God, seeing as there is in Christ Jesus an infinite fullness of all that we can want or desire, May we all receive from him, grace upon grace; grace to pardon our sins, and subdue our iniquities; to justify our persons and to sanctify our souls; and to complete that holy change, that renewal of our hearts, Which will enable us to be transformed into the blessed image in which you created us. O make us all acceptable to be partakers of the inheritance of your saints in light. Amen.

- John Wesley
