Hamish requests prayer…
I would appreciate your prayers for Cindy and her Dad. For the last 3 weeks Cindy has been in Texas to help her Dad through a very painful and difficult time. He has had some compression fractures in a number of his vertebrae. He had surgery today and it is our hope that this will bring him relief from the awful pain he has endured. This has been one of the most difficult times for Cindy and though God has been faithful to grant her much grace and strength I would be grateful for your prayers for her and her Dad. Cindy is planning to return here Sunday and I will be happy to have her home.

Pray these words over our cities…
Pray for the encouragement of our leaders as they walk with God. Let them walk in the encouragement of these words that the promised one has come and will return.
And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”
Luke 2:10-14 ESV
