The Lord is Near

Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Phillippians 4:5-7

These verses above were laid on our hearts at the Believer's Prayer Service last Friday night. May they be an encouragment to you today! --By the way, come join us sometime as we fellowship in the Believer's Prayer Service every Friday night at 7:00 p.m. . . . come prepared to bless and be blessed by the Lord.

Prayer for the Body

Wilma - In recovery from pneumonia.
Ross & Inez - For the delivery of their twins as the Lord's timing approaches
A Guy in the Fellowship who needs the Lord's leading in finding a job
Those who have been sick in the Body. . . we've been hit hard!
A Couple whose daughter will be going on a mission trip to Mississippi
A lady who is recovering from neck surgery
Ann - Her father has liver cancer, lung cancer, & recently has had a heart attack
A woman who is having trouble taking her medication
Another woman and her family as she is struggling with the affects of Alzheimer's

Countryside Youth

Remember your Creator in the days of your youth. . . Ecclesiastes 12:1

Opportunity awaits as the Lord unfolds his will for the youth at Countryside!

Our Creator has the youth in mind, individually and as a whole, for His plans and purposes. While the Youth Group takes the time to remember Him, He will faithfully continue to grow them up and complete the good work we have seen Him begin.

Our ministry of prayer on behalf of this group is more instrumental than we will know on this side of Heaven. Here are several awaiting opportunities the Lord has revealed to the Youth Ministry leadership that can be surrounded in prayer:

• Hospitality - That the Youth Group would grow in sincere hospitality and love of youth visiting the Fellowship
• Worship - For the youth led worship team as they continue to grow and seek the Lord's heart in worship
• Salt & Light - That the Lord would open doors for further ministry to this Youth Group and to the community

. . . being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:6
