Here’s your September calendar and a challenge

It’s September 1, 2017 and typically the post for this time of the month would be to let you know your complimentary calendar is available. And, it is. I also usually include words of encouragement to get you headed in the right direction as you enjoy scripture, prayer prompts, and daily inspiration.But in the past week things have changed and our sense of normalcy has been interrupted. Almost seven days ago, a category four hurricane hit the Texas Gulf Coast region, bringing with it, damaging winds, trillions of gallons of water, and flooding that exceeded expectations.

While we are gearing up for Friday night lights here at home, our friends to the south are hurting deeply from the devastation. In an effort to help comfort those in need, our friends, neighbors, students and businesses all over East Texas are busy collecting much needed items to send to Houston and beyond.

Please take a moment to participate in the widespread efforts to help provide families wth basic supplies. Continue to pray for so many who have lost their homes, schools, towns, and more. Please lift up those families who have endured tragedy and the loss of loved ones. Pray for God’s grace, peace and protection in the days ahead.
