Bible Verse
APRIL 2026
So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Galatians 3: 26-29
Pray that

- Our children are protected and kept safe this month during Spring Break, that they will have safe travels, joy and relaxation and sun-kissed adventures.
- Our jobless brothers and sisters will have divine intervention that enables them to keep perspective on what matters most and build spiritual resilience as they look for new employment opportunities.
- Our churches will be unified with harmony among members, a deeper faith walk, and efforts to develop spiritual habits that cultivate a closer relationship with God.
- The hungry will have nourishing food today and that their physical needs be met through the generosity of others and the abundance you have placed in this world. The homeless will be protected as they seek shelter.
