With Christ in the School of Prayer
As a third of the month has passed, we are encouraged to continue on in this classroom so titled. The theme for today (January 12) "The secret of believing prayer" finds its source in the words of Jesus, "Have faith in God" (Mark 11:22.) Andrew Murray records for today’s reading, "Faith in God fosters faith in the promise, including the promise of an answer to prayer."
Battalion Welcome
Please join us this Saturday, January 17, 6:00 - 8:00 pm in the Fieldhouse Dining Room to welcome in the new Battalion! Drinks will be provided, and please bring your favorite games to play. Thank you all for how much you do to help the men have a good experience on campus!
Welcome Baby Oliver!
We are all grateful that Daniel and Sarahann were able to bring Baby Oliver home from the NICU on New Year's Eve! If you'd like to support the Hawleys with a meal as they adjust, you can do that here!
Prayer & Fasting
Wednesday, January 21 will be our day of prayer and fasting to intercede for any people and situations that are especially heavy on our hearts. May we plan to mark that day especially for spending quality time with the Lord.
