This Saturday, August 16th, is the date set aside for our Community Compassion Project at Stafford Primary. We will assemble as a team that morning around 9 at the school and will partner with Lowe's, many of the teachers, some scout troops, and each other. In fact, many of you have signed on and will be a part of this team of volunteers. I am so appreciative of your prayers and support as we serve together to TRANSFORM our community to look more and more as HIS KINGDOM!
Would you also join with me in praying this week and as you gather for prayer Saturday morning for this opportunity and specifically for the following:
- Pray that each volunteer would come with a servant heart and that lasting relationships will be built and enlarged- between the business community, the schools and churches.
- Pray for the weather- that it would be nice so that we can accomplish everything put forward on the list.
- Pray that this would be much more than just a day of physical labor and that as we work His Name would be glorified, exalted, and that His LOVE will permeate every action taken that day!
- That each would do all as unto Him and not unto man.
- Pray that no volunteer be injured or harmed.
- Pray for the abundant supply of every need for this good work!
This year we have been given an open door to supply each teacher with a devotional book- "A Collection of Love Gifts" by Helen Steiner Rice. It is a small book loosely written from I Corinthians 13. Please pray that no one take offense.
Thanks to the generous gifts that have come in, we will be supplying each teacher with a gift bag with assorted personal items for each of them. Pray that they are blessed to know that we care.
Also, as a sidebar, please pray for the Catholic Vietnamese community in our area- of which the principal at Stafford Primary belongs- As I spoke to her this morning, she shared with me that many of those killed in the tragic bus wreck this past weekend, were personal friends, mentors, etc. of her's and her family's. She shared from her heart concerning this tragedy and I have promised that we will each lift the churches and their members up to the TRUE COMFORTER!
Once again, I truly thank you for your prayerful support!
Blessings to each of you!
