Dear Fourth Church,
As the summer sun streams forth God's glory today, we can pray with the psalmist:
May the glory of the LORD endure forever;
may the LORD rejoice in his works,
who looks on the earth and it trembles,
who touches the mountains and they smoke!
I will sing to the LORD as long as I live;
I will sing praise to my God while I have being.
May my meditation be pleasing to him,
for I rejoice in the LORD. —Psalm 104:31–34

A note from Missions Director, Janie Randell: "The Rockville Women’s Center (RWC) and pregnancy centers throughout the nation need our prayers and financial support now more than ever. RWC is anticipating an increase in abortion-vulnerable women seeking help and counsel, especially from other states. As the spiritual battle continues, we can pray for God's protection over pregnancy centers like RWC and his protection of the unborn, for the wellbeing of mothers, and for provision of resources, jobs, foster care, and adoption to aid mothers and families."
