Anne's message

Even though it's summer and people are on vacation, including Jan and Sal, we continue to gather each Monday evening to give praise and thanks to the Lord. We were a group of nine last night. Mary Ann was there with her guitar which certainly helps keep us on key and makes us sound much better. John 17 vs 1-13 was read in which Christ prays for Himself and for his disciples that they may have the fullness of his joy. We did feel this joy last night. Our friends, acquaintences, and the world were lifted in prayer. Phyllis gave a wonderful teaching on forgiveness. It seems that this is something the Lord wants us to work on and we all need to look into our own hearts. Manny also shared briefly on Matthew 16 vs. 11-20. Manny and Evelyn are new to our group and we welcome them. I invited everyone to go to onecameback.blogspot.com. a new site for prayer requests started by my daughter. If you look to the right on this blog you will see a link to it which you can click on. There are many prayers needed. I am very thankful for the faithfulness and openess to the spirit of our group. God bless us all! Anne
