Watchword for the Week - May the God of peace sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept sound and blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Thessalonians 5:23

Isaiah 61:1-4,8-11; Psalm 126 1 Thessalonians 5:16-24; John 1:6-8,19-28

My times are in your hand. Psalm 31:15

God saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works but according to his own purpose and grace. This grace was given to us in Christ Jesus before the ages began. 2 Timothy 1:9

Lord and Savior, our times are truly in your hands. Though we cannot say
where it is you will call us, we pray you will lead us lovingly and
boldly wherever you will us to go. Amen.
