·         Georgetown Bread Basket - the local food bank is experiencing unusual demand based on fewer donations and  an increased number of clients.

·         Prayers for the day:

·         - For families who are suffering grief and loss, especially those who are sitting and waiting for the inevitable, that God grant them peace as they feel His presence close to them

·         - For those dealing with illness and injury, trying to recover in a difficult time of the year, that they may receive patience and strength

·         - For those planning happy events, that they not lose themselves so deeply in details that they forget to be happy

·         - For those just trying to take each day as it comes, that they may be able to live life one day at a time.  

    ·         -Thanks, as always, to everyone for your continued support of the work and ministry of our congregations
