This year Sisters in Christ has seen the ebb and flow of members throughout the past 4 years. At this time we have 24 members. There are sisters from all three parishes.
We celebrated our end of the year Picnic on June 14. Everyone brought a dish to pass and as always we never go away from the table hungry. Sharing food, laughter, prayer requests and plans for the year to come, including our upcoming Women's Day Retreat at Mercy Prayer Center. Everyone had a wonderful time, friendships grew and we held each other up in prayer.
Father,
I ask You to bless my sister reading this right now! Lord,
show her a new revelation of Your love and power. Holy Spirit,
I ask You to minister to her spirit at this very moment.
Where there is pain, give her Your peace and mercy.
Where there is self-doubting, release a renewed confidence
in Your ability to work through her.
Where there is tiredness, or exhaustion, I ask You to give her
understanding, patience and strength as she follows You.
Where there is spiritual stagnation,
I ask You to renew her by revealing Your nearness, and by
drawing her into a greater and deeper intimacy with You.
Where there is fear, reveal Your love and release to her Your
courage. Where there is a sin blocking her,
break its hold over her life.
Bless her finances, give her greater vision, and raise her up as a leader,
and friend to support, and encourage. Give her discernment
to recognize the evil forces around her, and reveal to her
the power she has in You to defeat it.
I ask You to do all these things in Jesus' holy name! ~ AMEN!
