• Give THANKS for the release of effective vaccines to arrest the life-threatening complications of COVID-19 for men and women. Continue to PRAY for those who are waking up each day to the fallout caused by COVID-19. PRAY especially for families keeping Christmas for the first time since a loved one, and for some loved ones who died of complications from COVID-19. PRAY for J’s parents as they care for him through his fears. He had a rough few weeks.
• PRAY for the men’s group as they begin their next study, Carl Trueman’s The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self.
• PRAY for my next sermon series on the Letter of James to begin in the New Year.
• In December I’ll be preparing our 2020 State of the Parish report for our annual parish meeting in January. Give THANKS that our internal giving has held up this year despite COVID-19. Please PRAY for God to help us draft an honest and informative report of the parish, and that he would move people to continue supporting us generously in our internal giving.
