Pray for the hearts of our congregation as we continue to learn from Nehemiah. Nehemiah’s example is fun to read, but we are all called to engage and act on the wisdom we gain from his story. Chapter 8 tells the story of how the people were humbled by the reading of the Law. Chapter 9 reaffirms how much God loves his people -- this message of grace is central to our own walk. Add a comment about how God is working in your life through this journey through Nehemiah. Pray that others’ hearts and minds are open to this message...and the call to action that it tells. May you find peace!
Talked to Marlys this afternoon. Her surgery is Monday very early. Pray for her and the surgeon working on her hand. She mentioned (with excitement in her voice) that she hasn't missed a one of the Nehemiah series sermons, and she has learned so much from the sermons and her reading. She hopes we do something like this again.
