Have you ever been in a desperate situation
and needed someone to encourage you through prayer? Have
you ever been thankful for an answered prayer? Have
you ever been a part of a group that encourages
and lifts each other in prayer? YOU are
invited to be a part of the prayer chain at Northbrook. It
is so simple and requires little time. Contact
me at julieturner@mindspring.com and
let me know you want to be added to our group
and you will receive perhaps one or two emails
per week with prayer requests. As soon
as you receive one, take a few minutes to
pray for this person or situation. It will
be a blessing to you and others. |
