Anne's Message

Sal and Janice are vacationing in sunny Florida. We missed them but hope they are relaxing and enjoying themselves. We gathered in the chapel bringing with us our aches and pains, sorrows and joys. We asked for the Lord's blessing and the power of the Holy Spirit upon us and we gave our hearts to the Lord in song and praise. Readings read througout the evening were: Isaiah 43: 1-5, 2 Samuel 22: 31-37, a reading from a prayer book belonging to Debbie which encouraged us to trust in God completely, 2 Cor 4: 1-12, and Psalm 41. Through prayers of petition we gave our needs and hopes for all to the Lord. Evelyn shared a powerful story tonight about a woman who trusted in God and prayed without stopping after she became ill and was given six months to live. She was a single mother and had two young children. She lived in the Phillipines and could not afford health care. This woman did live. She was Evelyn's mother. The Lord was telling us last night that we are not alone. Trust in Him and pray without ceasing.
