MOMS IN TOUCH MOMENT
Moms in Touch continues to pray about the Fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22 & 23).
This week we prayed and looked up Bible verses on peace. We prayed that our
children would "Let the peace of Christ rule in their hearts since as
members of the body of Christ they were called to peace." (Colossians 3:15)
We also prayed that the Lord would help us love our children just as He has
made them, knowing that each child is unique and a precious gift from Him.
If you have a moment you might pray the same for your child. -Debbe Heggemeier
and Moms in Touch International
NEWS FROM PHYL
Is there anyone, both young and old, in our school family who likes to
knit or crochet? I have learned of more ways to share God's love with
others
by using the talents that God has given us. Would you like to make capes/ponchos
for the elderly, lap robes, or bandages for tropical ulcer patients?
If your answer is "yes", please contact me. -Phyl
