PRAY FOR OUR MINISTRY PARTNERS
NICK HADGES AT JAMES COOK BOYS & MOOREFIELD GIRLS HIGH
1. Praise God, our lunchtime group continues to offer tremendous opportunities for growth. Some of the senior boys have made my room their second home, complaining that our once-a-week meetings aren't enough.
2. Pray for the merger of James Cook Boys and Moorefield Girls and that it will lead to SRE both continuing and growing
3. Let us continue to support and pray that God, in His goodness, will keep the door open in our schools so that we can see a generation of young people in the St. George community come to know Jesus.
