Good Morning Family,
It is so hard to believe that we are halfway through August, but here we are! School will be starting in a little over a week and we will be entering into a new season soon. Prayers for our teachers, staff and students are much needed and I know appreciated.
Regarding the start of the new school year, we will be going on our Annual School Prayer Tour of Cassville, Galena, and Reeds Spring School district next Sunday evening August 20th. If enough want to attend, we will take a church van and leave the church parking lot at 5PM that day so we can ride together. Who knows, there might be a “Pop’s Dari Dell” stop at the end of the time of prayer at Reeds!
Sunday Morning, August 20th, we will take time on our service to Pray for Our Homeschoolers. That is such an important ministry and we want to be sure we pray for all of our students, so we will focus prayer toward our homeschoolers that morning and the public schools that evening.
From last week: It will be Promotion Sunday here on Sunday, August 27th, and so let’s be praying for our Sunday School Director and teachers as they work toward making that a good positive experience for the students who will be moving to a new class. I so appreciate Christina Harris, our Director and all of our teachers’ efforts every week to build a strong Sunday Morning Bible Study ministry. We are indeed blessed by our teachers and leaders in all of our age groups!
As always, my prayer is that we would all “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of truth.” II Timothy 2:15.
Your Shepherd of the Hills,
Bro. Steven
