PLEASE PRAY for families who need to adjust to new circumstances: transition to new schools, to university, to the world of work for the first time. Pray for all who struggle with change, and help them to see the unbounded possibilities in your world.

READ THE GOOD NEWS – Luke 14, 1 and 7-14
We are called to serve – to humble ourselves and put others first. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted (Luke 14:11)
