Points for Prayer:

Pray for our young people. Some specific points might include the influence of culture on their faith, the impact of social media, fear to share and stand up for their faith and falling away from faith. 

Continue to pray for our church family and all the plans currently being made for summer and the rest of the year.

Community Outreach Worker/Helper Update: Sorry to announce that the candidate we interviewed for our CoW post has declined the position. We will be re-advertising this post in the coming weeks with an updated prospectus, but in the meantime please do continue to pray for the person of God’s chosen to take up this post.

Summer Assistant/Internship:
For the month of June we will be hosting a student from RTS (Reformed Theological Seminary Orlando – where Philip is doing his DMin). Lincoln will be sharing some ministerial duties with Philip as he works through his calling to ministry.
