A Time for Rest

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. Psalm 23:1-3
In a world where constant busyness easily surrounds, we may find ourselves putting aside the LORD's call for us to come away to experience rest and refreshment in Him. Our days can be filled with activities including family, work, friends, and responsibilities, but when do we allow Him to 'restore our souls'?

The women at Countryside have an opportunity for this rest and refreshment as they meet for the Women's Bible Study every week. As you pray for the women and their time together, Wilma Kimball, the Women's Ministry Coordinator, has brought up a few requests/praises to consider:


  • That more women, especially those busy with children, would take advantage of this opportunity to come away and be refreshed in the LORD
  • That women would make room for this time for worship and fellowship with other women during this busy Fall season
  • Praise the LORD for the way He is encouraging and blessing through the worship, sharing, and teaching in the group!
