Sal's Message Aug 24th

With joyful hearts we open witih prayer allowing the Lord to come into our hearts. We sang many songs and we received a word from our Lord. { My Child have no doubts for I am with you always}, the readings were: Psalms 33---John Ch.6-ver. 32-40---Psalms 91, and Psalms 54. The teaching was on God's gift to each of us. The gift He offers us is our eternal destiny, so we have to make a choice. Do we want His gift of eternal life with our Lord or not. I'm sure we all know what we want. We ended in prayer. We thank Debbie and Bruce for a great day Sat. opening there home to us. We will meet next Monday at 7:30 p.m. to share with our Bibles. It is the end of the month. Where did summer go? So please bring your Bibles and share on how the Lord is working in your life. We have found that this night turns out to be very powerful. Thank You Lord. Have a great week, God Bless Sal

Sal's Message Aug 17th

The night was hot outside but in the Chapel the air was cool, and our hearts were warm with the love of Jesus inside us. We sang and enjoyed how the Lord works with us we began to feel His presencs. A word was given {My Children before you leave tonight, place your hands on My Cross, and I will heal you.}--The readings are: Isaiah 35--and---Psalm 136-ver. 1-9. The teaching tonight was given by Mary Ann, and how powerful it was. She shares on prayer. We learned that prayer was put in place by our Lord, for us. We must follow God's directions, remember God leads and we should follow. We must be in His Word daily, open the bible and start reading, make time for Him. It will help us grow. We will meet next Monday at 7:30p.m. in the Chapel, and don't forget Debbie's Pool Party this Sat. call Debbie if your coming. Until then have a Cool week. Sal

Response from Bill on Aug 10th Prayer Meeting

Sal -I thought your son did a wonderful job. He was very 'forceful' very animated very focused and hit his 'message' hard. I know that he had us, all, thinking about what he was trying to drive home.
BUT--it was a very difficult 'message' for us to come to grips with so easily.
Try to focus on God--not focus on all of the trials and tribulations that face us on a daily basis--BUT--- that is exactly what we have to try to do. He is right.
Very tough to do-- but he is right.
You and Jan are surely very proud of him and with good reason..
It seems he would make such a wonderful Teacher.
We have to continue our prayers for him. He is the kind of person we need teaching our kids.

Bill

Sal's Message Aug. 10th

This evening was special for Janice and me. We had our son Steven in from texas and he came to the prayer meeting and did the teaching tonight. A few words were given tonight,{ My children take hold of My hand for tonight you will begin a new journey with Me.}----{I have heard your cry My child and I shall remain with you.}---The reading came from: 1 John Ch. 2 ver. 24--20---1 Corinthian's ---Psalms 30---Psalms 92. The teaching by Steven was powerful and he gave us a lot to think about tonight and this week. He shared on God's promise to us, and reminds us of many things we should be doing to keep us close to Our Lord, like getting into His word. He told us what BIBLE stood for, ( Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth). Everyone enjoyed his teaching. Thank you son for a great job tonight. Next week we will meet at 7:30 p.m. in the Chapel. Also do not forget Debbie's Pool party on Aug. 22, Sat. at 2:00p.m. all our invited, call for direction. God Bless Sal

Sal's Message Aug 3rd

Tonight was again a night of prayer, praise, and glorifying The Lord, and so we did. We missed Mary Ann's music but we sang, and guess what we were not that bad. A word was given, { My Children allow some quiet time this week, and I will guide you.} The readings were: Psalms 95----Romans ch.1 ver. 16-17----and---1 John 3-ver.1-3. The teaching was on making a choice to walk with Our Lord or walk without Him. The choice is ours to make. Coming here each week shows that we want to walk with our Lord. Using God's gifts also shows others our love for Him. We shared a little and ended with prayer knowing how much the Lord needs us and wants each of us. Until next Monday at 7:30p.m. Have a safe week. God Bless Sal SS

Sal's Message

Tonight was a night of sharing from the Bible or open sharing. We started with prayer song and praise which is what we do each week. But what I saw tonight was the love of Jesus shining through our Sisters and Brothers eyes - the light of the Lord shine right through. We had a word { My Children when the road is difficult fear not, I will be by your side.}--Many readings. John Ch. 3-ver.31---2 Thessalonians ch.3---Proverbs Ch.2-ver. 1-8---Psalms 1. The sharing from so many touched our hearts, and we left knowing that our Lord was right there beside us. Thank You Lord for a beautiful evening of sharing and prayer. Until next Monday have a safe and bless week, please keep cool. Sal

Sal's Message July 20 Meeting

With joy in our hearts we welcomed back Geri and Bill to our pray group. Seeing them both made each of us feel good. The night was also blessed with Mary Ann's music as it filled the chapel. A word was given { My Children I have a plan for each of you, remain open to My Words.}---The readings are: Psalms ch.99-ver.9---Isaiah Ch. 42---Psalms ch13-ver.1-6---Jeremiah Ch. 31. The teaching was on being "In Christ", we were reminded that we are a group of people -all different- who love the Lord and love each other. We need to be part of such a family if we are going to be obedient to God.--We had open pray and beautiful music tonight and left as always with the Lord in our hearts. Next week we will be sharing with our bibles or if something touches you this week youcan share on that, so please bring your bibles with you. Have a safe week and God Bless. Sal

Sal's Message

Last night was different. We started with a song which opened our hearts to Jesus. We continued to sing and the words of the Lord came to us. The readings were: John ch.6-ver 11-32---Ephesians Ch. 1----Luke 8--Ver. 50. The teaching was on "Looking for the Messiah" in each of us. So let us look around and see the Jesus in others, and let us be Jesus to others. We will meet next Monday at 7:30 p.m. in the Chapel. Until then have a bless week. Sal

Sal's Message

As we gathered together on Monday evening, it was great to see Bill and Evelyn back with us. We do miss so many of our prayer family members that cannot make it, but we continue to pray by name for each of them. A word was given { My Children listen carefully to what I will share with you tonight and take that with you. }--There was many readings tonight, John ch.4,---Galatians ch. 3- ver. 26.----Matthew ch. 6-ver.25---Luke ch. 6-ver.20-23---and John ch.5-ver. 1-13. The teaching was a story call "The Son". The story was beautiful and we got the meaning of the story, which was that, God so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son, who so ever believeth, shall have eternal life.....That's Love!! We must pass this message on to others. Until next Monday at 7:30 p.m. May the Lord Bless and Keep each of you safe this week. Sal

Sal's Message

Life is good and every time we gather in The Lord's Name, we enjoy His presence. Tonight was enjoyable as we sang, prayed, and praised our Lord. A word was given, { My child cry out to Me and let Me heal your pain.} I believe He did to many of us tonight as we called out to our Lord. There were readings from: James 5- ver. 13---Luke 8- Ver. 11-15---and---Matthew 18-Ver. 1-5. Another word was given, { My children I am well pleased with each of you.} We shared on different bible verses, and learned so much from each of them. We thank Anne, Lindy,and Mary Ann, for their sharing from the bible. This time has become very powerful, hearing Gods words. We will meet next Monday July 6, in the Chapel at 7:30 p.m. I hope you all can make it. Jesus loves each of you. Have a Happy Holiday and a safe one. God Bless Sal

Sal's Message

Simplicity. Yes, that what we had tonight - the Lord opening up His words to us and showing us how to be healed. The beauty of the prayer meeting was our prayers, music, and offerings. The Love Of Jesus was felt and we were all at peace. There was a reading from Psalms 34 which said all we needed to hear. The teaching was on God's Wisdom in Our Daily Life, and there was a prayer for many different healings. We will meet next week in the Chapel at 7:30 p.m. please bring your bibles and we will share on different verses or we will let the Lord lead us. Have a blessed week. Sal

Sal's Message

We gathered in Father Anderson Library tonight, and wherever we are the Lord is with us. A word was given ( I believe My words will touch you tonight), and for each of us tonight they did. We sang and felt Our Lord surround us. There was a reading from Psalm 23--and--Psalm 71. The teaching was on our devotion to the Lord. Faith is so important to have and tonight Our Lord told each of us that faith is not the belief that God will do what you want. Faith is the belief that God will do what is right. So He asks each of us to do something that reveals our faith. God will respond. He has never rejected a genuine gesture of Faith. NEVER. We ended in prayer and will meet next Monday in the Chapel at 7:30 p.m. Have a great week, and keep the Faith. Sal

Sal's Message

If you did not make it tonight, then you missed the Angels singing. The music was beautiful. The gift of Mary Ann filled the Chapel with a sound that was heaven sent. Thank you again Mary Ann. A word was given { My Children I am giving you a word this week, take it and use it---LOVE---.} We had one reading tonight from Romans Ch. 12. Please read the whole chapter. This is a confirmation of what the Lord has given us of LOVE. Thank You Lord. The teaching was on the important things in our life. We must pay attention to the things that are critical to our happiness, like family, children, health, friends, and our favorite passions, like Jesus Christ. The title of the talk was " The Mayonnaise Jar and Two Beers," you had to be there to understand. We ended in prayer and felt the love of the Lord as we left. Next Monday is a Holiday. We will not meet. We will return of June 1, 2009- at 7:30p.m. Had a safe a happy Holiday. Love in Christ, Sal

Sal's Message

The Lord was so good to us tonight. We gathered together and enjoyed the gifts the Lord has for us. What gifts you may ask? The gifts of fellowship and sharing. Rich #2came tonight. It was great to see him. He is blessed with the Lord. Nancy's gentle smile and sharing filled the chapel. Mary Ann and Anne's gift of sharing made the evening very special. Janice and I listened to the gift of sharing through the bible verses and we all enjoyed being with Our Lord. A word was given { Whatever you are feeling, time will heal you pain}. There were readings from Ephesians Ch. 42- ver. 15 ----and Luke ch. 4-ver. 7-8. Tonight we shared on different bible verses and what they meant to us. There was joy and laughter as well tonight. We know Our Lord was present. Until Next Monday at 7:30p.m. Have a safe and bless week. Also HAPPY MOTHER DAY TO ALL OUR SPECIAL MOTHERS. GOD BLESS SAL AND JANICE

Sal's Message

We gathered in prayer and praise tonight in the chapel. As we prayed and sang songs, and listened to Mary Ann's beautiful music, we felt the Lord touch each of us. A word was given, { My Children at times you may feel weak, but fear not I will be you strength.} Bill confirmed this word. His son was speaking to him earlier and told him the same thing. That to me is a confirmation of the word. We had a reading from 1 John ch. 1- ver. 5 ---10 and Psalm 34. The teaching tonight was given by Lindy, and what a beautiful and powerful teaching she gave. It was called, "Believe God In Troubled Times". She shared how God protects us in troubled times. We need faith in what God tell us. We must read the bible more. She shared that the bible is a gift and you should open it and start reading it. We ended in prayer. Next Monday in the Chapel we will share on different bible verses and how they may have touched us. Thank you Lindy for tonight. You did a great job on your teaching. We left with much to think about. Have a great week, and GOD BLESS-- Sal

Sal's Message

The weather outside was damp and rainy and the numbers inside were few but two or more in His Name to pray and praise our Lord is all you need. Tonight began with quiet prayer and continued with prayer requests. This time became very special because we each could feel the presence of Our Lord touching us and blessing each of us. A special peace came upon us. Thank you Father for making this so special. We prayed for each prayer member by name that could not make it tonight and raised their needs to the Lord. Until next Monday at the Chapel, may the Lord Bless and keep you safe this week. God Bless, Sal

Sal's Message

It was great to be back in the Chapel and we also were blessed with Mary Ann's music tonight. The Chapel was filled with music, praise and songs. A word was given, { My Children be aware of My Presence and I will fill you with My Love.}-There were readings from 1John2-ver. 5-10----Mark 14-ver. 28-31. Phyllis read a poem called "God's Hands" I will write it at the bottom. The teaching was on Worry or Trust. When we have a problem we should bring it to Christ just like Mary did at the wedding, from John2-ver.3--"When all the wine was gone, Jesus' Mother said to Him, "They have no more wine". She took the problem to Christ, and that is what we also must do, bring our problems to Christ, and trust in Him. Next week there will not be a prayer meeting because of Easter Monday but we will return to the Chapel on April 20 and we are blessed. Lindy, will be doing the teaching. I hope you all can make it. Until then have a Blessed and Happy Easter. Love in Christ, Sal and Janice.


God's hands are all over the world, And no matter what people say God's hands are visible You see them every day. God's hands are creamy white, His hands are a golden tan, His hands are darkest ebony And rough from sea and sand. His hands can be young or old. His hands reach out in climates warm or in the coldest ice and snow. You've seen his hands so many times For God uses hands of those he loves For things he needs hands to do! If you've reached out to do His will.....Your hands are his hands too!

Sal's Message

Tonight we came looking forward to hearing a tape from a Charismatic speaker, is Maria Vadia. Before we spoke we received a word, { My Child take hold of My hand and fear nothing for I am with you.}--Her talk was titled, " So that they may all be one." We must always praise the Lord in all things. We must walk by faith with The Lord and believe. Her love for The Lord is so strong and her praise and worship is so powerful. Listening to her we all can learn a lot. We all shared on how her talk touched us and we ended in quiet prayer. We had fellowship and shared some more. Next Monday we will be at the church, at 7:30 p.m. We will not meet on Easter Monday but will return to the Chapel after that to praise and worship our blessed Lord. If we do not see you, have a Happy and Blessed Easter. Love in Christ. Sal and Janice.

Sal's Message

We gathered together at Sal and Janice's house again. The air outside was cold but the Spirit of the Lord was warm enough to fill us with His Love. The readings were: Psalms 18- ver. 1-4----Isaiah 42-ver.1-9---and 1 Timothy Ch. 1--ver. 11--16. The teaching tonight was given by Bill. It was on spiritual awakening. He shared different stories on how God touched people and how they became aware of His presence. We shared after and told some stories on how yhe Lord touched our lives. We ended in prayer and had fellowship at the table. A good night - we all were filled with God's love. Until next Monday, at Sal and Janice house. Have a blessed week. Sal

Sal's Message

Tonight we found a special peace within each of us and the Lord. We sang and praised Our Lord, even had a little laugh during one of our off sounding songs. We knew the Lord was with us. Wwe rec'd a word from Him it said: "Take this time that I have given you and use it in My Name."------ The readings were; Psalms 28---and Ephesians. Ch. 1 ver. 1-9--The teaching was on how important it is to fellowship with your Sisters and Brothers in Christ and what a perfect place to do it - at the Chapel or someone's home. If we did not have this prayer group maybe our hearts would grow colder and we would not be in the right place with the Lord. We must keep the fire burning in our hearts and when we do the love of Jesus will warm us today and always. We ended in prayer and enjoyed a short time of fellowship. Tonight we will be at Anne's house at 7:30 p.m. for our 5th annual meeting. Next week we will be at Sal and Janice's house for the last time and will return on March 30 to the Church. Hope you all can make it tonight. Have a blessed week. Sal

Sal's Message

"My Child take any doubt you have and leave it at the foot of My Cross and go forward on my Path." This word was given as we began to pray, and as we opened ourselves to the Lord, we started to feel His presence through His word. There were many readings - Psalms 67---1 John ch.3. ver. 1-3---Psalms 24- ver. 1-6----Proverbs Ch. 7----and John Ch. 14.ver.1-7. The teaching was a short story which told us to be faithful followers of our Lord and remain open to follow Him even when the road is difficult and it seem we are not going to get through the situation at hand. Faith, Hope,and Love of Jesus will guard each of us and get us through it. We ended in prayer and shared fellowship time for a short while. Until next Monday at Sal and Janice house. God Bless.

Sal's Message

Sal's Message

Peace is flowing like a river, and that is how it felt tonight. The love of Jesus and His gentleness was present as we sang, prayed, and praised our most loving God. Anne told how she felt the Lord saying to her, "It's ok, I am with you." after receiving Holy Communion at the funeral of her very dear friend a few days ago. She shared that after thinking about these words she realized they are true in any difficult situation we find ourselves. We had a reading from Psalms ch. 8---&---Psalms ch.34- ver. 1-11. There was sharing by Anna, as we learn that it is okay, our Lord will be there, we can get through anything as long as we have faith and trust. It okay to feel whatever you are feeling at the moment, because God is with us. We ended in prayer, and enjoyed some fellowship over some cake and coffee. We also found out that everything shared tonight was a confirmation. Next Monday will be at Sal and Janice house. We will share with our bibles and also share how the Lord has touched us this week. Until then God Bless and keep each of you in His Hands. Sal

Tonight we gathered at Sal and Janice's house. As we began to pray we quietly felt the presence of Jesus come into the room. A word was given{ Place no doubt in your mind for I will never fail you.}---also---- {Take My hand and walk with Me, you are my beloved Child}.--We had a reading from Psalms Ch. 8---Psalms Ch. 34-ver.-1-11 and Ephesians Ch. 4-ver. 14-20. The teaching was on "The God who Sends the Music," It was about the Holy Spirit in our life, and that when you are filled with the Holy Spirit you will hear the Music. There was good sharing after the teaching and when we finished we fellowshiped over coffee and cake and enjoyed each others company. Until next Monday at Sal and Janice's house have a blessed week. God Bless, Sal

Sal's Message

Tonight we allowed ourselves to be mellow in the Lord, to feel His love, to share His words, and sing His songs. We quietly sang and began to hear our Lord speak to our hearts. A word was given, { Be prepared for the journey I am about to take you on.} The readings tonight were: Psalms 21--Isaiah ch.41 - ver. 28- 31---Psalms 145---and Psalms. 9. Tonight we shared different bible verses that may have touched us this past week, and there was a lot of sharing in this area. We ended in quiet prayer and joyfully left the chapel.

Sal's Message

When we make the time to attend our prayer meeting we always come out feeling filled with the Holy Spirit. With the cold weather and staying warm in our home we sometimes get lazy, but tonight I am happy I attended. The fellowship and love in the Chapel warmed our hearts. The songs filled the chapel and the readings and teaching did warm us up. We may have had our coats on but Jesus filled us with His love. The readings were: 1 Corinthian ch. 1- ver. 4-9---Psalms 34 ver. 1-11---Psalms 28--, the teaching was given by Anne tonight. Anne's love for the Lord shone right through her. It was her anniversary of walking with the lord for 24 years. Anne found His love that day when she was born again. She brought in a picture of Smiling Jesus. You can see Him saying "Come Follow Me", and she has. The joy of the Lord is still with her. Two words were given tonight { Remain silent My children while I anoint each of you.} also { I turn to each of you My children and say "Come Follow Me". I will lead you on the right Path}. What a beautiful evening. Thank You Lord. Next week please bring your bibles and special verses and we will share how the Lord is working in our lives. God Bless, Sal

Sal's Message

We Love you dear Lord, and we praise and worship you always. Tonight we sang, praised and opened our hearts to the Lord, and listened to His message. It came in different ways for each of us. What I heard first was a word which was given. It said,{ Take the love I have for each of you, and pass it on to others.} There was a reading from Psalm 96--and Proverb Ch. 3. ver. 13-35. The teaching was on a story about witnessing and receiving Christ in your life. You know we wait for the Lord to answer our prayers, and we wait and wait, but He will not fail us, it will be answered in His time, not ours. We must have faith and believe that our faith will hold us strong, until we are healed or our request is answered. Until next monday keep Christ in your life and have a safe and warm week. God BLess, Sal

Bill's Reflections

See you cant lose going to the Prayer Group-- some gas --some time-- maybe-the fifty dollar entrance fee-just kidding-- but you cant really LOSE. Even if you don't believe in God you get something from the Prayer Group.

Well, I had a conversation with my bum legs and said' Look guys I haven't been there in months -MONTHS !!!!.-- I have to go. I know you guys don't want to go and I know these pills I am taking make me 'woozy' and out of sorts but I am asking you -please- lets give it a 'GO'. PLEASE'They thought about it and after much deliberation they said 'All right. We make no promises and remember to bring in the cushion that takes pressure off the nerves in your foot and we will go." "Deal" I said.

I rushed into the meeting-late-but I got there- took my seat. Looked around the room and there they all were. Some of the nicest folks on the planet. Give you the shoes off their foots. Hearts two sizes too big. Well, they treated me like a movie star back from a vacation or like a returning hero. There was Sal and dear wife Jan. I had missed their nagging of each other and Sal always being worried that he would say something wrong and she would start heckling him when he gave a 'teaching'. There was Anne-steadfast and true putting her heart and soul in front of God-there was Phyllis--kind hearted? gentle soul? Right up at the head of the class-throw adversity at her and she manages to stuggle through each and every time with never a complaint. There was Debbie- well all the stuff I said about the other folks applies to her except for the heckling. She and Bruce raising their beautiful family with all of the struggles that go along with doing that and against many obstacles --still smiling--Eleanore-day by day week by week struggling through life sharing the struggles of her boys and those close to her and yet being grateful during all of that-- Sophie-hadn't seen her in such a long time-but she was bringing her soul and her struggles to the group and asking that we join with her to find some answers to life's struggles-

Anna, well we hadn't seen each other in so long AS WELL-- BUT SHE BROUGHT 'GIFTS ' FOR PEOPLE-GIFTS THAT MIGHT MAKE THEIR DAYS AND THEIR STRUGGLE S EASIER TO BEAR-GERRI- SO QUIET- SO COMMITTED TO FACING DOWN--THERE IS THAT WORD AGAIN -'STRUGGLES'-WELL WE ALL HAVE THEM. GUESS WE WOULDN'T BE HUMAN IF WE DIDN'T HAVE THEM. MAYBE ON OTHER PLANETS THEY DONT HAVE 'STRUGGLES' BUT WE SURE GOT THEM HERE. THAT IS ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS THIS GROUP GATHERS EACH Monday-TO SHARE THEIR STUGGLES-TO ASK God AND THIS GROUP TO HELP THEM THROUGH THEM-TO FACE THEM AND COME OUT THE OTHER SIDE. WE ALWAYS DO SEEM TO MANAGE THAT--NOT EVERY TIME. WE ARE AS I SAID 'HUMAN' AND WE CANNOT LIVE FOREVER. It IS HOW WE LIVE AND FACE AND ENDURE AND COME OUT THE OTHER SIDE.

There was Lindy-quitely enduring-most always asking for help for others-she comes last to the table. And lastly --but not I-- am sure -someone is sitting next to her but forgive me please I just don't remember but I assure the same mold I am sure.
I have said often-I would trust my heart and soul to these folks.

Some of our group are off fighting through their struggles on their own 'taking a break' as they say. It has become a bit much to come to the group. It gets overwhelming at times. What IS the meaning of life'? Why has this befallen me? I have dome all that has been asked and look at this terrible situation that has overcome me my family? I don't get it. I need to step back. Hey who among us could blame you?. You pray your heart and soul out and sometimes it gets worse NOT better.
Well, I know I over simplify things by saying 'It is a job. A job we must do to to make way for the betterment of our souls'

I know easy to say but if I didn't firmly believe that I would--I would-? Well, I wouldn't be sitting here and I wouldn't be going to any Prayer Groups. Anyway I felt that I had to pray for a young girl at the Rehab Center where I go for body improvements. She was having terrible stomach pains --back pains-- and she had 'Colitis' a few years ago. She needed to see Doctors. I listened to her story and told her I believed firmly that she did NOT have Cancer. All of the symptoms seemed to say that was not her problems but she did a wise thing to seek a Doctors help. That would be a major problem for her because she was on Medicaid and it would be tough to find a good Doctor who would take her Insurance but she needed help. We all agreed that ANY Doctor was better than none and she did have to find out what was causing her all of this discomfort and Pain. I told she had to find a Gastrointesologist-? Told her all of these tests were absolutely painless and she would be OK. There was something wrong but I did not think it was major. I do not have a Degree in the Medical Establishment but I have a large degree of undergoing a test here or there. She had to try to find a Doctor to take her Case.
We prayed for many many more people and Causes and then Sal gave a wonderful inspiring talk and said something like what added up to" Tell your big 'struggles' how big your God is." That wasn't his exact words but I changed them to fit my 'theme'

At the end I had to chance to say some personal hellos' and I always feel like a few million dollars as to how this wonderful group treats me. Anna gave me a humongus-HUMONGUS --hug at the end. I had sent her an E-mail telling her how much of an inspiration her Husband Rich and she were to me when my legs were at their worst. No matter how much they hurt I thought of Rich and how his 'Struggles' made mine look like strawberry shortcake. It seemed to me that he hardly ever complained that much. I am sure he must have and I am sure Anna had to endure during all of that but while I visited the few times I did-he seemed to handle it all so very well. He lost both legs. How could I make a fuss over pains in both of mine?. She thanked me so very much for that e-mail -I thanked her so much for the inspiration. We spent about five minutes thanking each other. She did say something of great importance and I have heard this before-- 'She said 'BY you doing that you help keep Rich alive".!!
We tend not to talk about someone who has passed on'. This is a mistake. Their loved ones want to keep the memory 'Alive'. They do not want the memory to be forgotten like the person never lived. I am sure that is hard for all of us but we should try to honor the memory of the person and talk about them with the ones left behind. I know tough task-Tough.

Oh yes I saw that girl Michelle today. I told her we had prayed and asked her how she was doing. Did she find a Doctor.? She said a most amazing thing happened. She gone to the Hospital to visit her Mom. Her Mom worked there. By chance they both bumped into one of the Gastro. Doctors who worked there and who her Mom knew well. They told her her story. The Doctor said she would do the exams for free.

PS
I forgot to bring in the cushion. My legs were not happy about that , at all, but did not curse or yell at me

Sal's Message

The Chapel was filled with the joy of the Lord tonight. The Praise and Worship, and songs we sang brought us together in a very special way. Jesus was present in the Chapel and in each of us tonight. "Praise The Lord," the readings were: Psalm 121-- Matthew Ch. 18, ver. 10-13--and Jeremiah Ch. 30. A word was given [ I Have taken you on a journey. Be prepared, look back on the last few weeks, see where I have taken you.] The teaching was a story of "That's God," It talks about the good things we do for others and that when things happen around us it is not a coincidence. There is no such things as coincidence. It's God. That's right. {That's God working though you or for us.} We ended with the joy of the Lord with us, and we were reminded "Don't tell GOD how Big your storm is, Tell the storm how Big your GOD is!" Until next Monday at 7:30 p.m may the Lord bless and keep each of you safe this week. Love in Christ, Sal

Matthew, Ch.6-ver. 33- says, "Seek first the Kingdom of God." Well that is what we have been doing at our prayer meeting, seeking His kingdom and His Love. Yes, we found it again as we gathered in His Name. The Love of Jesus was with us and each week it is getting stronger and stronger as we gather in His Name. The reading tonight was from John ch. 6- ver 37- 40. The teaching was on How well we know the Lord, and how we live our life. Manny and Evelyn shared their trip and where Jesus had walked and many other things. We thank them for their sharing and theie gifts to
us. We have two more weeks, starting at 7:00p.m. until 8:15p.m. Have a safe week, and remember to pray before you vote tomorrow. God Bless

Tonight was a night of Peace, Peace, Peace, Peace. Very few words are needed to describe tonight. We had one reading from John ch. 3--ver. 31--36. This evening we sang.There was one short song that we read, it was called "He Touched Me," it goes like this ( He touched me, oh he touched me, and oh the joy that floods my soul. Something happened, and now I know, he touched me and made me whole.) That is what happened tonight. Praise The Lord. We will meet next Monday at 7:00p.m. until
8:15 p.m for 3 more weeks. Until next week may The Lord keep you safe. God Bless, Sal

Sal's Message

We only had one hour and fifteen minutes to praise and worship our Lord, but time seemed to stand still. Tonight the Lord made us feel as if we were there so much longer. Why? Because His presence was so strong and the Holy Spirit was really moving in the chapel. Two words were given tonight, { " You are the apple of my eye and every good thing I created was for you."}-------also-------{" For the journey may be rough but the destination is rewarding."}--------- Please try to read Psalm
27- very powerful. The teaching was on "Living and everyday life of victory", always focusing on our Lord and praising Him in every situation and feeling the joy of the Lord in you always. Try to praise Him through the good and the bad times. Lift Him up as often as you can. We ended with a ver. from Philippians, ch.4-ver.13 "I can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengthens me." We will meet next week at 7:15 p.m. and please bring your bibles for sharing. Until then have a safe week and God Bless. Sal

Our Lord is a Mighty powerful Lord, and even though we were few in numbers, we were strong in song, praise, and worship. The Lord is so good to us and tonight as always He showed His love. "Praise The Lord", the readings are: Philippians Ch. 1 - ver. 3-11----Psalms 93---. A word was given { My Children you are My devoted servants and you will be with Me always.} The teachings were on the Love of Jesus, and a prayer card was given out, a very powerful one. When you come you will be given one. We ended with the love of Jesus in our hearts. We look forward to next week. Remember we start at 7:00 p.m. until 8:15 p.m. and please park in front of church. May the Lord bless and keep each of you safe this week. Love in Christ Sal

"This night was made for the Lord, let us rejoice, let us be glad." These words are from a song we sing in church, and tonight was made for the Lord. The gentle songs and praise brought us so close to Jesus tonight. The readings were: Luke Ch. 10-ver. 25-37----John Ch. 12. ver. 44-50---and Psalms 23. The teaching was first a little story, and then I read the song Amazing Grace and shared my walk with the Lord through this song. Maybe you can read the words and put your life in it. We felt the joy of The Lord in our hearts and His great peace. The next six weeks, the prayer meeting will be 7:00 p.m. until 8:15 p.m. because of Father Dan's scripture study. Also please park in the front for the next six weeks and enter through the door on the right and quietly pass Father Anderson library. This way if you stay later you will not be alone in the back. Please try to come on time so we can get the most out of our time with the Lord. Have a bless week . Sal

Thank You Lord for this prayer group and all that you bring to it. The fellowship tonight was beautiful. The songs were powerful and the bible readings so good. As we began tonight the Lord gave us a word. { " My Children listen closely tonight for you will be filled with My Holy Spirit."}--The readings were: Psalms 23----Psalms 72. ver. 1-4----Psalms 138 - ver.1-5-----and Revelation Ch. 18- ver 20-22 The sharing was Bible verses that touch you. Here are some. Please try and read them. Psalms 91- Evelyn had told about a custom of keeping your bible open to Psalm 91 in your home. Several members are now doing this, finding it a wonderful psalm and encouraging friends to also do it. Matthew - Ch,18-ver.20-22 and James Ch. 5- ver. 13-18. The sharing was strong and we felt the Lord speaking to us through these verses. Please try and find time to read or reread them. Debbie gave us each a copy of The Wooden Bowl and I have some to give out next week. Announcement: On Oct 13 and for six weeks we will be meeting from 7:00 p.m. until 8:15 p.m. because Father Dan is having an adult scripture study on the Prophets in the church. So if anyone is interested they can attend after the prayer meeting. The study starts at 8:30 p.m. until 9:30p.m. Also, this Friday there is a Healing Mass Oct. 3 at 7:00 p.m at St. Mary's Church, 1 Phalanx Rd., Colt's Neck. Fr. Jeff Kegley will be the sponsor.

My dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ, The Lord welcomed us into His Holy Place tonight with open arms. We felt His peace and enjoyed the evening in song, praise and worship. The readings are: Psalms ch.18--ver. 1-4----Proverbs ch. 3--ver. 1-12---1 Chronicles ch. 16. --ver.1--36-----and Proverbs ch. 3--ver. 27--34. The teaching was on the Host, and how truly present He is in the Host. It was called the "Hidden Jesus".We must see Him in the Host at Mass and never find it hard to see His greatness and majesty in the hidden form of a Host. Until next Monday, when we will come with our bibles and share some of the verse that may have touched us. Have a safe and blessed week and may the Lord watch over you and yours. Sal

Sal's Message

Thank you Eveyln and Manny for having us all at your lovely home. The warmth we felt and the presence of The Lord filled their home. We sang, praised and worshiped our Lord. We also enjoyed many different kinds of food tonight. Debbie shared a story about the wooden spoon and we were all touched by the story. It will be shared again. It was a night of fellowship which was needed by all of us. And as you know Jesus was present while we did so. We prayed before leaving and thanked Eveyln and
Manny and wished him a Happy Birthday this Wednesday. The Lord is definitely in their home. Until next Monday when we return to the chapel, May God Bless each of you this week. Sal

The chapel was filled with the Holy Spirit tonight. The sharing and praise was really strong. The music again by Mary Ann was just beautiful. We had a word, { My child let me show you the way, just remain open to My words tonight}. The bible readings were: Psalms 18. ver. 1-4----Psalms 24, very powerful. We shared on Bible verses that touch our hearts, and what they meant to each of us. This sharing is becoming stronger and stronger. Next week is Sept 1, we will not be meeting since it is Labor Day. We will be meeting on Sept 8, but not in the Chapel. Evelyn and Manny have invited us to there home for our prayer meeting and to celebrate Manny's birthday. I hope you all can make it to their home. They really want us there. Until we meet, May the Lord bless and keep you safe. Sal

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You Lord for a great evening of prayer,praise and worship. Your Holy Spirit was so powerful in the chapel and the songs we sang and the love that went around the room was beautiful. The readings tonight and the songs all seem to fit together, The readings were : Matthew ch.5-ver 3-11----Psalm 36 and Psalm 150---. One of the many songs tonight was "Change My Heart O God." There was a word given also { I sense unrest in some of you, call on Me tonight and I will give you peace}. The teaching was a short story called The Brick. The point made was, "Don't go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention!" Sometime when we don't have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at us. It's our choice to listen or not. We will meet next Monday at 7:30 p.m and I ask if you could bring your bible, and we will share different Bible verses that have touched us or are important for us to hear. Have a bless week and God Bless. Sal

Sal's Message

We were few in numbers, but strong in the Spirit. Last night we came looking for the Love of Jesus to touch us. Well, as we shared our feelings and allowed the Lord to speak to us while we sang and praised Him, He did just that. The Love of Jesus was spoken through the Bible verse from Matthew ch. 21 ver. 18-22-and - 1 Corinthian Ch. 12, ver. 1-11. We spent some time on this last Ver. in 1 Corinthian and I feel each of us should take time and read this. Our Lord showed us the different gifts of the Holy Spirit given to us. We should ask the Lord to guide us into what gifts he has for us. Many of us are already blessed with these gifts, but we need to pray and ask Him to open new doors and show us the way. Until next Monday I hope to see you all there. May the Lord bless each of you this week. Sal

Sal's Message

The power of prayer is so strong, and tonight we felt it as we prayed, praised, sang, and lifted Our Lord in Name and Praise. The songs without the gift of Mary Ann tonight went well. She was missed but the Lord is Good and He helped us with our voices. The readings were: Luke, 17-ver. 5-6----Psalms 70 ver. 1--6-----Proverb 8. The teaching was on The Great Exchange. If you read Isaiah 53-ver 4-5 you will understand. Then Debbie shared a short story called :The Wooden Bowl". It was powerful and left us with some open sharing, and she was asked to read it again in the future. We closed in God's laughter and prayer. Have a blessed week, Love in Christ, Sal

Tonight was a night of sharing God's love through the bible, song, and open sharing. A song was played called " Jesus, there's something about that name" and yes there is. It is a powerful song that brings the love of Jesus closer to our hearts. There were two readings, Matthew 18-ver.10-14---and Luke 10-ver. 38-42. Tonight we shared on different bible verses that may have touched us and also what the meaning was for us on that verse. It was powerful. The sharing that went out to each of us was heart filling. We will do this again in another month. Until next Monday, God Bless, Sal

A Message from Anne

At last night's prayer meeting we worshiped the Lord with song and prayers. We heard the words from Psalm 96 to "Sing to the Lord a new song: Sing to the Lord, all the earth. Sing to the Lord, bless His name." We also heard the Lord's words from Ephesians vs. 14-21. "For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and earth derives its name, that He would grant you according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, and that you being rooted and grounded in love may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God."

We lifted our needs, worries, and loved ones to the Lord trusting in His will and His mercy. We prayed asking God to bless, aid and heal all who were not with us last night and their families.

Manny who is a medical doctor gave a teaching on illness which is inevitable in our lives. We can use our illness for God's glory. Manny referred to paraticular saints and shared their attitude toward sickness. Illness can change us for the better when we are able to surrender to God. He also shared ways to help ourselves and the doctor when we are sick. His wife Evelyn, shared the story of her mother's healing from cancer after being told by her doctor that she had only 6 months to live. Her doctor had no explanation except maybe he made a misdiagnosis. Evelyn's mother had prayed unceasingly. Praise God!

Next Monday we will share how God has and is speaking to us through scripture.

Sal's Messasge

What a great evening we had filled with sharing and song. Praising the
Lord was just overwhelming. We made the time to come to this prayer
meeting and the reward that the Lord gave us was so great. The readings
were: Luke ch. 15-ver. 1--7---Luke ch.2--ver. 8---14----Matthew ch. 10
ver 34 thru ch. 11.----and Joel Ch. 2. The teaching was on Time. We
ask Jesus to help us to understand that nothing of this world is worth
our time if it does not include Him. We offer up praise and thanksgiving
for the gift of time. Next week Manny will be doing the teaching and
Anne will lead the prayer group. Please come and support them. We also
offer a special mention for Gloria Hanson. Keep her in your prayers.
Until next week, may the Lord keep each of you safe in His care. God
Bless Sal

A Message from Anne

I've been thinking lately how important it is to read scripture and that lately I have not been as faithful as I should be even though I know that God has spoken to me so many times through scripture in both powerful and quiet subtle ways. I thought maybe it would help all of us if one prayer meeting a month we shared on scripture verses that really spoke to us. We could tell what God has shown us from the past and the present. It may be about help God has given us in a tough time or it may be an enlightening or sudden understanding about the greatness of God or whatever!

I mentioned this idea at the last prayer meeting and got a very positive response. I suggested doing this the first Monday of each month. However, I'll be on vacation that week so perhaps we could begin at the July 28th meeting.

Also, if someone would like to write about a meaningful scipture and post it on our blog that would be great. If someone doesn't want to post something themselves they could e-mail it to me and I would be happy to post it. God does great things and many times He uses scripture. Let's open our bibles and help the Holy Spirit give us treasures and words of wisdom.

God bless you all! Anne

Tonight we spent more time in sharing before we started our prayer meeting, but when we began the Lord showed His Holy Spirit and we sang and praised the Lord and enjoyed Mary Ann's gift of music.

Take a group of people that love the Lord, mix them with song, praise,and worship and you get a beautiful love filled chapel. The love tonight that we shared with you Lord was great. The readings were many,( Psalms ch. 33- ver. 1-5----Jeremiah ch. 29. ver 11--- Isaiah, ch.43 ver. 1--3----Isaiah,60----and Psalms 48 ). The teaching was on Gifts. It says in Paul verse 7 "To each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good." TO EACH ONE, God has made you a specialist in some area of ministry, calling you to be a minister with your gifts. Go out there and use them. We ended in prayer. Debbie & Bruce have invited us to their home again in July for a picnic and a swim. The date is July 19, Sat. Debbie will send out more information later. Until next monday may the Lord bless and keep each of you safe.

Sal's Message

With the love of Jesus we came together tonight with sharings, praise, song, and worship. Jesus was our focus, more so tonight in the teaching and in our prayers. "Boy", how we love our Lord. The readings were:Psalms 105- ver. 1-6 and Psalms 19. - vers. 8-9-10- & 15. Phyllis read a prayer from Mother Teresa- { Lord, open our eyes that we may see You in our brothers and sisters. Lord open our ears that we may hear the cries of the hungry, the cold, the frightened, the oppressed. Lord open our hearts that we may love each other as You love us.} The teaching was on keeping our eyes on the Savior. Remember, if Jesus is who He is, there is no truth more worthy of your time, and no God more worthy of your devotion. Just a reminder, we will not meet next Monday because it is Memorial Day. We will be back the following week, June 2. Until then have a blessed and happy week. Love in Christ, Sal

Anne's Message

Last night, the day after Pentecost, we gathered again to pray. We worshiped the Lord in joy, and with song, aware that God has called us by name and is with us through His Spirit.

Thank you Geri for the very insightful teaching on the Prodigal Son. I especially liked the idea that the father did not just happen to see his son return that day. The father was watching in the distance every day waiting for his son.

Manny shared on Mary and mothers. This year it happened that Pentecost and Mother's Day fell on the same day and I just see now looking at my calendar that today is the Feast of Fatima. I shared the homily given by our deacon who mentioned all the concerns we have today and the manual he has found to be so helpful - holy scriptpure. He read a number of short passages from different sections of the bible which made me want to go home and read more and read every day. We thank you Lord for Your Words to us.

We prayed that Janice and Sal had a wonderful weekend trip and look forward to being together again with the Lord next Monday. God bless everyone. Anne

Sal's Message

Praise the Lord in all things! Tonight we gathered and asked the Lord to touch our hearts, and that's just what He sure did, first with Mary Ann's music and then with His love just flowing through each of us. Two words were given: { I will hold your hand this week and I will be with you.} and {My Children I am so pleased with each of you}. We had a reading from James ch.1 ver. 19-27-and Acts Ch. 19. ver.1-8. The teaching was on, Adoption of the Heart, and God's promise to us, from Romans Ch.5-ver. 8, "God showed his love for us in this way; Christ died for us while we were still sinners". God loves each of us and we are His Children. We have been adopted by God and are therefore an "heir of God through Christ". Until next monday, Janice and I will not be there but please come and support Anne, as she leads and Geri as she does the teaching next week. May the Lord Bless each of you. Love in Christ, Sal

Sal's Message

Each week as we gather is the same, yet different. What I mean is that we pray, sing, and praise the Lord, and even though we do this we come to feel the presence of our Lord with us. Yes, it's the same but we come alive and feel His love touch each of us. This reward is so great no one can take this from us. The reading tonight were: Psalms 62---and---Proverbs 1--11, Debbie gave a beautiful reading, and a word was given: { " If you believe and trust in Me, all things are possible"}. The teaching was on Devotion, and how strong is our Faith. We closed with joyful laughter and prayer. Until next week, may the Lord bless and keep each of you safe. Love IN Christ, Sal

We came together in His Holy Name, as we do each week, and we felt His love surround us. We thank Him also for all He has done for us, and is still doing. A word was given { Faith, Hope, and Love, take this with you tonight and give this to others." }-----The readings were from: Psalms 71----John 14-ver. 21--26----and Hebrews Ch. 9. We all shared on the Pope's visit to the United States, and how it made us feel. The love of Jesus came through again, in our songs, and prayers. Let us go and share this love with others as we have been told. Until next Monday, God Bless Sal

What a powerful evening of sharing we had. Many went to the healing service Friday and the sharing was great. We sang three songs from a C.D. and enjoyed the music. We prayed and as we continued to pray the Lord touched each of us. The readings were: Psalms 34- ver. 1 thru. 11, and John Ch. 10, ver. 1--18. The teaching was on SIMPLICITY, and the question is Have we lost the real simplicity of a relationship with God through Jesus? Remember, Jesus does not force His way in. We have to invite Him into our hearts to be saved. I would like to know if anyone
would like to do a teaching next week or in the weeks ahead. Until then may the Lord keep each of you safe. Love in Christ, Sal

When you are looking for some peace, try attending our prayer meeting. The Lord gives it to us free. All we have to do is get ourselves there. Last night was powerful because of our Brothers and Sisters who attended. The Lord gave us beautiful music from our gifted Mary Ann, and the readings and words given just added to the evening with our Lord. Jesus was so present to us and even if we had pain within we were at peace with the Lord. The readings were: Luke Ch. 4- ver. 4---and 1 Peter 1 ver. 3-9. Two words were given: ( " The Lord said to each one of us, "I Love you"--) and ("Place your pain at the foot of the cross then place your trust in me.") The teaching was on Job, "When faith really counts". Job placed his trust in God through all his trials. Let's take some time and read Job. If we can be as strong as him we can deal with anything, looking to our Lord for strength. Until next Monday, God Bless. Sal

"Sing for joy, O heavens,and exult, O earth; O mountains, into singing! For the Lord has comforted his people, and will have compassion on his suffering ones. " And that is what we each felt tonight. As we gathered in His Name, the joy of The Lord was with us, and throughout the evening He showed it. A word was given at the beginning of our prayer time, { You can see the beauty in the flowers, they are here now, I see the beauty in your presences }. The readings were: Psalms 138---and----1 Corinthans Ch.3. The teaching was on The Joy of God's Presence. He reminded us that we do not have to overcome the troubles of the world by ourself, we must trust in what Jesus has already done. Wereally enjoyed tonight and thank the Lord for being so alive with us. Until next Monday at 7:30 p.m. in the chapel, have a great and blessed week. Love in Christ, Sal

Thank you Father for the joy you bring to us each week as we gather in your Name. You give us a special peace that comes over us at the prayer meeting and we love youfor that. Tonight was as special as every monday has been. A word was given " I Am the Living God, I will walk among you," ----- and " Remain strong in Me for I will be your strength." The reading where: John 15 ver. 1-17---- John 17 ver.1-12--and Psalms 29. The teaching was on ( Eagles Wings ), God reveals himself through the Scripture. We are reminded that " God does not always immediately take us out of our wilderness experience, but He always brings us through". He said, " I will carry you on eagles' wings out of impossible situations, through the wilderness, and into the fullness of My purpose for your life." We closed in prayer, a beautiful evening. There will be no Prayer Meeting Next Monday March 24, but we will be back March. 31, at 7:30 p.m. Have a blessed Easter and God Bless, Love in Christ. Sal and Janice

Looking at Ourselves

Last night for the 4th year the prayer group met at my house to look at ourselves as a group to see how we are doing and decide what if any changes we should make. Are we on track doing what the Lord wants us to do? Sal, Janice, Bill, Gerri, Mary Ann, Lindy and I were present.

Prayer Meeting is at 7:30. If we begin prayer time by 7:40 which we often do, that is fine. We need a few minutes to visit. We average 10 people at our meeting now. So we are pleased with that.

Sal begins with a spontaneous opening prayer which we are happy with. It would be good if others would add to this yet we don't want to make this prayer too long. This opening prayer is followed by a short time of silence which we agreed was good. It helps to settle us.

When Mary Ann plays her guitar she chooses the music so she can achieve the proper flow. If someone would like a specific song played they can ask Mary Ann before the meeting if she would play it. When Mary Ann is not playing we have been using song sheets which have songs which are easy to sing. Then anyone can suggest a song. During this part of the prayer meeting we should be very focused on the Lord. This is when the spirit speaks to us. It's a time to avoid any chatter or distraction. We are as in the words of a song on HOLY GROUND.

During prayers of petition it is often difficult to hear what a person is saying. We agreed our job is to pray for these needs whether we hear everything or not. The person lifting up intentions should not use this time for a lot of detail.

Sal has taken on responsibility for teachings and we appreciate this. He has encouraged others to do teachings and most people have and we think that's great and should continue. Immediately following the teaching is a good time to share with everyone.

At the end of the meeting we lay hands on and pray for anyone who wishes to be prayed with


Sal mentioned ABC guidelines for a prayer meeting - Audible, Brief and Christ Centered.

We thank the Lord for His Blessings.

Anne

To all my Sisters and Brothers in Christ, We have received a special gift from our Lord, and that is the fellowship we have each week. The love of Jesus surrounded us tonight as it always does and you could feel His Peace touch you. The joy from Mary Ann's music filled the chapel and our prayers stormed the heavens. The reading were: Isaiah Ch.2, ver.2-5---Psalms 22---and Psalms 46. The teaching was on " What to do when you feel like giving up". In a word, God calls us to persevere. Take action in life. Don't wait for life to happen. Go out there and make things happen, even at our age. The Lord is good, so let us never fail Him. Let us be His Disciples. Until we meet next Monday at 7:30 p.m. in the chapel, have a blessed week, and don't forget Anne's meeting tomorrow night at her house to talk about our prayer group. GOD BLESS, Sal

The Lord is Good. As we gathered tonight in His Blessed and Holy Name, Jesus showed His love for each of us in a gentle kind of way. You may have felt His presence, or heard a word from the readings given, or just relaxed in the Lord. Whatever way we knew He was there. The reading are: John 14ver. 1-14----Isaiah 42--ver. 1-9,----and Psalms 33. The teaching was given by Manny who spoke on the Holy Spirit. He shared that the Spirit is a person with us, and without Him we can do nothing. He made the Holy Spirit come alive for us tonight. His witness was beautiful. Thank you Manny you are blessed by our Lord. We will meet next Monday at 7:30 p.m. in the chapel and we will have our 4th annual meeting on Tuesday, March 11 at 7:15 p.m. at Anne's house. Please let Anne or myself know if you can attend. Thank You. Love in Christ, Sal

Tonight we gathered as always looking for the Love of Jesus in each of us, and if you were there you know we found it. The peace and love of our Lord was again a gift from Him. One of the songs we sang tonight was "You Are Near" and was He ever. His love quietly filled the chapel. The readings are: Matthew Ch. 7-ver. 7--12,------Psalms 16, and Proverbs Ch. 2. The teaching was on God's Promise In The Crown of Thorns, which was the fruit of sin, thorns, spiny, prickly, cutting thorns. These thorns pierced His heart through our sins. So take a good look at the cross and see how He died for you and the pain He felt. Look at the crown this week and say, ( HE DID IT FOR ME, JUST FOR ME).

Dear Sisters and Brothers, For many of you that could not make it tonight you all were missed. For all who attended tonight, we had our time with the Lord in song, praise, and sharing. The sharing was great and the deep prayer time was felt by all. The reading came from Psalm138---and a word was given, ( My Children place your faith and trust inMe for I will never leave you.) And tonight He stayed with us. While we prayed you really could feel the power of prayer being lifted up. A short story was read, and a teaching came out of it. It was sad and beautiful at the same time. It was about going out of your way to help someone, the little things not always the big things. We learned that people may not remember exactly what you did, or what you said, but they will always remember how you made them feel! So every morning when you open your eyes tell yourself that it is special. Every day, everyminute, every breath truly is a gift from God! Until next monday at 7:00p.m. in the Chapel, may God bless and keep you all safe. Sal

The night was cold, but we had eight loving sisters and brothers come out to the chapel which was warm and felt good, but what heated the chapel was the Love of Jesus, through our songs, prayers and praise. The gentle songs filled our hearts and the power of our prayers reached the heavens. We know that there is healing in the works as we prayed for all our sisters and brothers. The readings were, Psalm 28-----Psalm 34-----and John10-Ver. 1--18. I shared a short story about a boy who believed "God Lives Under The Bed." The boy was mentally disabled but lived a simple but faithful life. He loved God and kept him close, not only under the bed but in his heart. This we must also do, trust God and be child like, and maybe our faith will grow stronger. I ended with, ( FRIENDS ARE ANGELS WHO LIFT US TO OUR FEET WHEN OUR WINGS HAVE TROUBLE REMEMBERING HOW TOFLY.) Until next Monday at 7:00 p.m. in the chapel. Have a blessed week.

Our prayer meeting began with the good news that Eleanor's son does not have macular degeneration as he had been told and his vision should improve. Eleanor had stood in the gap for him ( that is we laid hands on Eleanor as we prayed for her son) last week. Thank you Lord for answered prayers. Readings for the evening were Romans 8 vs 1-17 and Psalms 139. Gerri gave a teaching on the cross. She told how she was watching a tv show and heard an announcement for the following show about the cross. Her intent was to change the channel but before she knew she was looking at Jesus face on the cross. She told herself that it's just an actor playing the part but she was drawn in thinking about the human Jesus and how he must have felt in his humanness. She saw the love in His face. Jesus didn't give up on us. He died for us.

Next Moday we will meet at 7 pm because Fr. Dan will be using the church for teaching on the passion. See you then. Have a blessed week. Anne

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.

We gathered tonight in the Chapel, which was just a little cold, but the night warmed up some with the heat, but most with the Love of Jesus in each of us. The strong faith of His almighty love warmed our hearts and we praiseed, and sang and felt His love in each of us. The reading were: 1 John Ch. 3 ver.1-3, and Jeremiah Ch.31. A word was given at the beginning of our prayers, ( My Children never have any fear, and never have any doubt, for I have given you the gift of Faith). The teaching was on "God's Promise in The Garment." When we come to the cross dressed in sin, we leave the cross dressed in the "Coat of His strongLove". We ended with a prayer, ready for whatever He has for us this week. Janice and I will be away for the next two weeks. Please come and support Anne as she leads you and hear Evelyn next week as she does the teaching, and Geri the following week as she comes forward to do a teaching. Please pray for both of them. The prayer meeting will start at 7:30p.m. Janice and I will be praying for all of you and will miss being there. God Bless, Love in Christ. Sal

Though the weather tonight was bad, we had so many of our Sisters and Brothers attend our prayer meeting. The gift again of MaryAnn filled the chapel as we sang and felt the presence of Jesus. The reading were: 1John Ch.3-ver.1-3,---Psalm 46,----and Psalm 84. The teaching was on Praying with hope and open hands. We the Children of God need to support, protect, and hold one another to God's heart. And Lord, we believe that in every prayer you are calling us to a new life, and may we thank you for the many ways your Spirit has enriched our life. We will again meet next Monday at 7:30 p.m. I pray that you all have a blessed and safe week. God Bless Sal

It was great to see everyone who came to praise and worship the Lord tonight. Happy New Year, and that it was. The Lord blessed each of us tonight and anointed each of us as well. The presence of our Lord was felt. The readings were: 1 Peter.Ch.3----- Psalms- 149--Psalms34----and Psalms 25. The joy of the Lord filled the chapel and we sawJesus in each of us. The teaching was on how we see Jesus in our life and in other people, and that we are instruments of Christ. Once we tune into that love we will be gifted with all the fruits of the HolySpirit and we will know we have His Love. We will meet next Monday in the chapel to praise and worship our Lord. May God Bless each of you.

To all my Sisters and Brothers who attended last night's Prayer MeetingChristmas Gathering, thank you. Each of you made the night so beautiful.

As we began a word was given, " Take hold my children for tonight I offer you the gift of Love, Peace, and Joy." Yes and as the evening continued in prayer, song, and praise, we felt the Lord's presence. The readings also were powerful. They were--- - Isaiah Ch. 2 Ver.2-5----Matthew Ch. 6--Ver. 19-21 also Geri gave a very powerful one, but I did not get where in the bible. Another word was given "I will take each of you in My Hands and anoint you." The angelic tongue was so beautiful tonight, you could feel the angels around us. The teaching was on Peace, another gift from God, who makes us instruments of peace to others. For the next three weeks we will not meet in thr chapel. Jan. 7, 2008 we will return to start a new year of praise and worship. Reminder next Monday Dec. 17, at 7:30 p.m. we will meet at our home fora Holiday prayer meeting. We hope you all can make it. Until then God bless, Sal and Janice

The wind outside the chapel was whistling and it made you feel so cold, but what happened as we sang and warmed up with Mary Ann's beautiful music was such a great gift. In the quiet of the music we felt the warmth of the chapel and the warmth of God's love surround us. We had readings tonight from 2 Timothy Ver. 1 to 13 ----- Psalm 34- Ver. 2-4-- and from one song we sang "I Hear a Sound" saying "prepare ye the way of the Lord". Yes that is what we are doing and the teaching was on that also, Gifts of Love. So this year when we hear people say that gift giving is just a commercial aspect of Christmas we will be able to say..."No not my gifts....mine are from the heart'. I will make it a point to think that way when I buy my presents and give to those around me. Until nextMonday when we meet in the Chapel, may the Lord bless and keep you safe this week. Sal

The evening started slow, could be the way the day was, damp and raining, but once we began to allow the Lord to touch us we felt our Lord's presence. The music was beautiful, what a gift the Lord gave us. Thanks, Mary Ann. After singing and hearing the Lord speak to us we prayed, listened to a teaching on Mercy, and just felt in love deeper with the Lord. The readings were: John Ch. 8 Ver 12 and Ver. 31-32--- Luke Ch6- Ver. 27-36--- and John Ch. 1-18. Remember, never ignore the opportunity to be merciful. So this week allow yourself to be merciful to others. We will meet next Monday in the chapel, so please park in the back so we can all leave together. May the Lord be with you this week. God Bless Sal

It was good to be back to our regular prayer meeting in the Chapel. Tonight we allowed the Holy Spirit to gently touch us and we did not have to look at the time. The Lord was with us. A word was given, " My children remain open, hold My hand for I am with you."-- also My children I have walked among you tonight and I have anointed each of you. The readings were: 1Corinthians Ch.10- Ver. 23-26----and Psalms Ch.21-Ver. 1-8---. The teaching was on how to dwell in His presence and in moments of prayer giving thanks for the faith He has given us and also how grateful we are for the community, prayer group and our sisters and brothers that attend our pray meeting We are strong in number and powerful in prayer. We thank the Lord for all of us, and ended feeling joyfilled. We will meet next Monday and allow the Lord to touch our hearts again. Have a Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving.

Our prayer meeting tonight went from the choir room to Father Anderson,s Library, but when we settled down the Lord came upon us and we felt His presence. With song in our hearts and praise we enjoyed the singing and sharing. The reading were 2 Corinthian Ver. 5-----1John ch.3-ver24-29-----Psalms 23. We had a short teaching tonight on Finding Christ. If you read John13-ver.8-12 you may understand about looking for Christ in your life. He may be right in front of you, in your loved ones or your friends or people passing in your life. So this week seek the presence of God in all things, realizing that He is often to be found in the lives of those around us. Next Monday we will be back to our regular prayer service starting at 7:30 p.m. in the Chapel. Not sure if you can park in back or front. Just check as you drive in. Have a safe and holy week. God Bless, Sal

Our Lord is so good. We could not get into the choir room so we went to the chapel and for the 45 minutes that we gathered together, we knew our Father was with us. Tonight we prayed and sang a few songs and enjoyed the presence of four new loving Christians, Jim and Rena, and Anne and her sister, Alice. The Spirit moved. You never know how He going to touch you. Anne K. shared on the Gift of Healing which was so needed tonight. There were many there who needed prayer and healing. Prayer was so powerful tonight. We saw a couple resting in the Spirit, and we saw the love ofJesus shared by our prayer group sisters and brothers. Thank you Lord for giving us this special short time together, but any time with ourLord is special. Wed. evening there is a Healing Mass at St. Ann's Church at 7:30p.m. It is time for us to come together and allow the Holy Spirit to heal us. I hope we can make it, I myself am not sure if Iwill be there but I am going to try. Monday we will meet in the Chapel. I found that we are able to finish in time before the bible study begins in the church. So please park in front and come through the church. Oneof the doors will be open early. May the LordBless and Keep you safe this week. Sal

In the chapel or in the choir room, when we come together in the name of Jesus, the power of the Lord is always with us. In the 45 minutes that we sang, prayed, and offered up our prayers, we could feel the strength of Our Lord. The love in the choir room was strong. This love together with our love for Jesus filled each of us before we left to go either home or into the church for Father Dan's bible study. The reading tonight came from Psalms 1--Psalms 11---Psalms 97--and Revelation Ch. 3--. For the next five weeks we will meet at 7:30 p.m. in the choir room for45 minutes. Please try to come on time. There is a healing mass this Friday at Saint Catherine Church, 130 Bray Ave., Middletown. Praise andWorship starts at 7:00p.m.-Father Jeff Kegley-Celebrant of the Mass.

Tonight we had the pleasure of having Sonia and Anna attend our prayer meeting. It was great to see both of them. We started quietly and allowed the Holy Spirit to come into our hearts. A word was given, "Tonight My children let you hearts be your guide and I will be beside you". The readings were: Psalms Ch. 33-ver.1-5---Psalms Ch.139-ver.1-18----Isaiah Ch. 41--ver.28----Matthew Ch. 5-ver. 3-10. A poem was read by Geri which was very powerful. The teaching was on Mercy, how God's mercy works in our lives. We must remember even the smallest act of mercy will show God's Love and patience to others. We ended in a small sharing and prayer. Another beautiful evening with our Lord. REMINDER, the next six weeks we will meet in the choir room, at 7:30p.m. Please try to come on time. We will pray, sing and offer up our prayers. Then we will go into church for those of us who will be attending the bible study at 8:30p.m. We will be parking in the front of church from now on. Have a blessed week, Sal

Sal's Message September 17

With the Grace of the Holy Spirit tonight, we enjoyed Mary Ann's beautiful music as always, and we allowed the Holy Spirit to come into our hearts. Being in the chapel and praising the Lord just makes you feel so good. A word was given: "My children when you leave here tonight you shall leave with a healing heart." The readings were:John Ch. 3----and Matthew Ch. 5-Ver. 1--12--"The Beatitudes". The teaching was on "A Divine Appointment", that is experiencing the Holy Spirit in your daily life. A story was read, and we realized that we are true children of God the Father, the Creator of all Things. We also had five minutes of just thanking the Lord for everything he is doing in our life. That was also powerful. Thank you Lord for a blessed evening. Until next Monday went we meet in the Chapel, God Bless each of you. Sal

Sal's Message

What a powerful evening the Lord gave us tonight! We started singing and praising the Lord off key, but after a while we sounded like angels. Well, that may be a bit too much but the Lord filled the chapel. The readings were: Ephesians Ch. 1 Ver. 3--6---2 Corinthans Ch 1. ver. 3--6 and 1Corinthans Ch. 1- ver. 26--29. The teaching was on Staying in the Palm of His Hand. The evil of the world is so prevalent that you almost seem foolish if you are not open to all the wrongs in it. We have to be careful to stay in this "safe place" that is, being in the Palm of His Hand. We must call on the Lord and know that He is our Shepherd, that He will always be there for each of us. We also had a powerful prayer time after the teaching. Many came up for prayer and we prayed for powerful healings. Until next week, may the Lord keep each of you safe. God Bless, SAL

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

I am sending this week's synopsis of our meeting in the absence of Sal and Jan who are traveling to Florida and cruising. They will be back in 10 days. Please keep them in prayer for a safe trip and refreshing one too.

Sal gave a word from the Lord: "You are my dear and faithful servants. Remain strong in me and I will never fail you". In our quiet time, we really felt the presence of the Lord at chapel. It is such a peaceful feeling to just be there.

The readings were:
Isaiah 40: 3-11- Comforting God's People
Jeremiah 31:1-14 - Gods' love is Everlasting, Always There
Colossians 1:9-14 Living Life Worthy in the Lord
1 Corinthians 13: 1-9 The Love We Must Have for Others

The teaching was on Forgiveness, a second week on forgiveness, so the Lord wants us to listen up and pay attention.

The story was of a man in wooded area thinking about all the things that made him feel hurt, anxious, angry, people who did him wrong, maybe not knowing they did that to him, all of the bad feelings that sometimes linger within the soul, harboring feelings for people who did things to him that he did not think were right nor fair.

Sal,s Message Aug. 13

We started with prayer, praise and song, and as we sang the Lord started to touch each of us. We felt his presence and found peace in the Chapel. The readings were: James Ch.1-Ver. 19--27---Mark Ch. 11-Ver.22---Ephesians Ch. 4--Ver.14. The teaching was on Wisdom from EphesiansCh.4- Ver. 18-25, and how the Lord helps us use the wisdom of forgiveness to change our attitude and put on our new self. We are to be guided by His way, and when we go out and forgive our friends or family members or whoever, we then feel the presence and love of our Lord in doing so. If you were there tonight you felt the love of God surround each of us. Thank You Lord, for another peaceful and beautiful evening with you. Until next monday have a blessed and safe week. Love inChrist Sal

Sal,s Message Aug 6

Let the Lord lead and place your trust in Him and all will go well. Yes tonight we sang, praised and prayed and the readings I felt were strong and prayer time was very powerful. The readings are: Matthew Ch.6-Ver.19-21---Ephesians Ch. 1- Ver. 11-14---Philippians Ch. 2-Ver.6---also a sharing on prayer by Manny telling us how important it is to pray daily and often during the day. The teaching was on God's Promise in The Cross, and we were reminded of why God gave His only Son for our sins. Read John Ch.3-Ver.16- "For God So Loved The World That He Gave His One and Only Son, That Whoever Believes In Him Shall Not Perish ButHave Eternal Life. So this week take a good look at the Cross, and remember God's Promise. Until next Monday at 7:30 p.m. may you all have a blessed week. Sal

With the Joy of the Lord in our hearts we began with prayer and received a word from our Lord,"My children, remain open to my word, for tonight your healing begins."

The bible ver. are: Isaiah Ch. 30----John ch.4-ver 31-36----Philippians ch. 4-ver.4---andProverb ch. 8 ver.4-9. The teaching was on the comming of Christ. If you read Revelation in the bible you can learn more about it. We were joined by a lovely couple, Manny & Evelyn, tonight. They are filled with the Holy Spirit.

Lord, Thank you for bringing our prayer group together last night. As I sat and watched my sisters and brothers praise the Lord the love of Christ shinning from them was breathtaking!You are so good Lord! Fellowship was great. The reading were: Psalms 10 ver. 2--3, Psalms121---Ephesians Ch. 3- ver. 1--13, and Matthew 10,ver. 37-42. The teaching was on the power of prayer and how we all belong together as children of God. We want to live our life as His beloved child. And that we are doing. We want to be just like Jesus. We thank Debbie and Bruce for a great sat afternoon at there home. We left knowing the Lord is with us always. Looking forward to fellowship next monday. God Bless, Sal

Take a group of loving Christians and place them in a small chapel and allow the Lord to touch them, and see what happens. Yes how powerful theLord can be! We sang, praised the Lord and as always left tonight with the Love of Jesus. The readings are:1 John 2 Ch.1-Ver.5-10---Psalms 33-Ver.20-22----Isaiah Ch. 12. The teaching came from Mark 14: 32-36--. We began to understand God's suffering in the garden, and learned that God was never more human than at that hour. So if and when we are suffering let's take a walk in the garden of Gethsemane and know that God's greatest gift was his suffering for us. Until next Monday evening or if before that at Debbie and Bruce house this Sat. at 1:30p.m. may the Lord bless and keep each of you safe. Sal

Our God is so good. How good? So good. Tonight we gathered after our holiday off. It was so good to be together again. We started very quietly and then the Lord touched us with the readings and music. The praise became very powerful. Lord you are so good to us. With the gifts you give us and how you bring everything together we know that it's you. The readings are and please try and read them, Psalms 91----Psalms 46---andPsalms 9-ver. 1--21. Mary Ann's teaching finished the evening and the song and words on Grace were so powerful! We left filled with the Love ofJesus and we look forward to next week.

Sal's Message

As always we started with quiet prayer and as we prayed the Lord gave us a word. ( I have chosen each of you to lead. Now let your heart show you the way.) The reading were Psalms Ch. 104---Psalms Ch. 138--Hebrews Ch.5-ver. 7--10. The teaching this week continues from last week, which was Grasping for Grace. This week was What Grace Means. Romans8--31, said it all. "If God is for us, who can be against us?" So repeat the first four words this week and let it stay with you, ( God Is For US ). Yes, and when you learn that God is not only within sight, He is within reach, you will know that is what Grace Means. Next Monday when we continue on Grace, Mary Ann will be doing the teaching. The air condition is on for us now thanks to Father Dan. Have a blessed week, Sal

My Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ, what a beautiful night we had at the chapel. It was filled with the voices of angels and the power of the Holy Spirit was present. Although it was warm in the chapel we continued to sing, praise, and worship our Lord. A word was given, "Be strong my child and allow me to guide you and lead you and show you the way". The readings were: John Ch. 12- ver. 44----Matthew Ch.7-ver.7-12----Isaiah Ch. 58--ver.11-----Isaiah 41-ver.27--31---and Romans Ch. 15.- The teaching was on Grasping Grace. We learned or knew that "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith----and this not from yourselves, it is a gift of God--not by works, so that no one can boast" (Ephesians 2: 8--9). Through grace we are able to walk on water, and life has real purpose, and God is not only within sight, he is within reach. Also prayer time was so powerful and the music was great. We are truly blessed to have the gift of Mary Ann and Rich 1 playing, and also to have Rich 2 with us. Next week we will meet and the teaching will be on what Grace Means. God Bless all of you this week. Sal

Prayer, Praise, Song, and Jesus, is how we gathered tonight and fellowshiped with each other. Jesus is the way we were told, (Take hold my child for I will take you on a journey of love) and that is what happened tonight. The reading are: Ephesian Ch. 1-ver. 3-10----Isaiah ch.55---- and John ch.10--ver. 1-18. The teaching was on faith, and we were left to think about our protector, who He is. We know He is the One who stands with His arms wide open waiting for us to come and huddle in the security of all He is. We ended as always in prayer, and left with the love of Jesus in our heart. Just a reminder that there is no prayer meeting next week because of the Holiday. We will be back the following monday evening. Have a safe Holiday. Love in Christ, Sal

"Well, tonight was a very different type of night, and the Lord certainly showed a sense of humor! We arrived in the parking lot at church to find out both the chapel and church were being used for Confirmation. Not sure of knowing who was going to come to prayer meeting, we sat in Anne's van, first just 3 of us and we thought we would have just a quick prayer meeting in it...then 1 more came, and we made room, and then 1 more and we made more room....listened to a version of Amazing Grace on CD.....then two more came and we were out of space!!!! But we persisted and found the Music Room to be empty...so we all transferred to our next place to continue. I am sure the Lord looked down and chuckled too...we were tested but we carried on to a place for a little quiet time. Our thoughts turned inward for a few minutes to taking in all of God's love for us...without asking Him for anything at that moment..we just sat and "were". We were to just feel the presence of the Lord within us and "know" the Love there. Just as a baby chick is taken under its mother's wing for protection and love, so we too were to try to feel and experience that at that moment. We came with thankful hearts. Psalm 103 was read and we dwelled on the words. Our next few minutes turned to petitions and thanksgiving to our Lord above for allowing us the time to be with Him. And of course, we prayed for the power of the Holy Spirit to fall upon the young confirmation candidates. He truly is "Amazing Grace".

Sal's Message

Tonight the teaching was "I INVITE YOU INTO MY PRESENCE", but before we even heard the teaching, the Lord was so powerful. We each felt His strong presence through the silence and the gift of word, the songs sung and the sharing of our prayer family. One reading was given from Hebrews Ch. 5--and many words were given. One was " BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD", and we were. You could feel the Lord's presence bring each of us a special peace. Geri shared that the sign above Jesus on the cross, INRI could mean "I NEVER REGRET IT. We found this very powerful. We must always remember to trust the cross and when we do we will be welcomed into God's presence. Reminder we will not meet nextMonday, but will return on Monday, April 16, at 7:30p.m. in the chapel. Have a Happy and Blessed Easter, Love in Christ, Sal

Take a small group of people, place them in a chapel, allow them the power to sing and praise the Lord, and you have an evening of complete Joy in Jesus. That is how we felt tonight. The Lord was there for each of us, We felt His Angels dancing around us as we praised the Lord. A word was given " I am aware of your presence my child and I am here to heal you". The readings were: Ezekiel Ch.37----Roman Ch. 1---Ver. 16-17. The teaching was on "What Will You Leave at The Cross?" We closed our eyes and relived Good Friday at the Cross. We were asked to leave something at the foot of the Cross so that we could be healed. If we leave all our sins, -literally at the Cross we will find a new peace. So find some quiet time this week and speak to our Lord at the cross, and leave all your sins and you will feel so good, good in Christ. Until we meet next Monday, May God Bless and Keep you safe. Love in Christ, Sal

By some mistake I though we would be in the choir room, but we moved back to the Chapel tonight. I'm sorry for those who had to walk all around. We began quietly in prayer and listened to the Lord speak to each of us. Mary Ann played and her gift of music is so beautiful. The reading were: John Ch. 17- Ver. 20---24----and Joel Ch.2--Ver 12-17. The teaching was on Lent, and our thoughts why we are here, what purpose are we put on earth for? We found that we are here to accomplish something and to do our best to live the Gospel in all situations of our life. So we are left with this question, " Am I doing it?? Am I living the Gospel and thus having the effects that God wanted me to have on this earth?" ---If not,we still have some time. Something to think about this week. We ended in prayer and left with peaceful hearts. Until we meet next Monday in theChapel, may God Bless and keep each of you in the palm of His Hand. God Bless Sal

Sal's Message

The Lord was truly present tonight as we prayed and sang. His words were, "My children I am here, you have called Me, I am present. I will show you the way". He also offered a gift for each one of us. All we have to do is listen and feel it through our heart. He will show us. Well after that some of the readings and the teaching offered us gifts. The reading were: 1 Corinthians Ch. 4-ver. 9-----Micah Ch.7-Ver.18----Isaiah Ch. 41----Romans Ch. 4-Ver. 4-8-----JeremiahCh.18-ver.1-6. The teaching was on Love your neighbor as yourself. Becoming grateful is the armor to put on, and it will help us to see things more clearly. I believe this is a gift from God, which we can learn to use. Let us each day live out our Yes to the Lord. We will meet next Monday in the choir room at 7:30 p.m. Please pray for all of our Sisters and Brothers that attend our prayer meeting. We all need prayers. Until next Monday, God Bless. Sal

We gathered together at Sal and Janice's house this week because the choir room was too cold a few weeks ago. It was bitter cold outside but the house was warn with the Love of Jesus and the fellowship of each other made the evening feel like summer. Jesus came to us last night with powerful readings and words given. The readings were: Jeremiah Ch. 1 -Ver.5----Jeremiah Ch. 29-----Psalms. Ch.62---and Joshua-1. A word was given " If your heart is heavy come forward and I will heal you'. We many have come with a heavy heart but I am sure we did not leave that way. We enjoyed Bill's sharing and ended in prayer. Some stayed for fellowship. a Until we meet next Monday, may the Lord Bless and keep each of you safe this week. God Bless. Sal

Sal's Message

The night was short but the fellowship was strong. Blessed with the presence of the Lord the night became filled with the power of prayers. We did not sing or have a teaching but the time together was filled with the love of Jesus in each of our hearts. There was a word given, in our quiet time. The Lord said, " Each of you here and all that are not will begin a journey, so stay aware and listen because I will be speaking to your hearts. We ended in prayer and remaining open to what is ahead for us as Lent begins. May the Lord Bless and keep each of you safe. God Bless until we meet in the choir room next week. Sal
