Salutations
,
Montreat Alums!
"Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!" Psalm 34:8
We understand that amidst the recent spread of
Covid-19 we may find ourselves experiencing feelings of anxiety.
Praise God, He watches over us and gives not a spirit of fear but one of power, love, and sound mind. We are not alone. We are all in this season together. Remember to love your neighbor and continue to encourage those around you through prayer and acts of kindness.
If there are specific areas of prayer that you would like lifted up, please make them known. We know that this will impact many of your families directly and we are praying for all of you and your family's good health and provision.
