PRAY WITHOUT CEASING
Please join your church in praying for the following requests for the life and mission of the church:
 
+ As we collect and donate school supplies for Carroll Middle School, pray for the teachers and students who will return to school on  August 27; that Christian teachers would be good witnesses to their students, and that all students would be well supported and guided, no matter their academic ability. 

+ Pray for the Triangle YMCA as they conduct interviews to identify our next Community Hope Site Director for the students and families of Navaho Drive. Pray for the Lord to call someone who speaks Spanish, and who can commit to 3-5 years of ministry.

+ Pray for individuals and families in our church who may be dealing with sexual brokenness, that the Lord would bring healing and forgiveness. Pray also for the upcoming conference on this topic, put on by our Mission Partner, Beyond Imagination. Pray that all who attend from our church and others will be strengthened by God's love for them and his power to restore.
