Psalm Reading

Psalm 86: 11-17 (NRSV taken from BibleGateway)

11 Teach me your way, O Lord, that I may walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart to revere your name. 12 I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify your name forever. 13 For great is your steadfast love toward me; you have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol. 14 O God, the insolent rise up against me; a band of ruffians seeks my life, and they do not set you before them. 15 But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness. 16 Turn to me and be gracious to me; give your strength to your servant; save the child of your serving girl. 17 Show me a sign of your favor, so that those who hate me may see it and be put to shame, because you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.

A joy--one of "my kids" from 40+ years ago (when I first started babysitting) has become a daddy for the first time. Lily Corinth was born on 7/6/20, three days after Mom's birthday and the day before Dad's birthday. I've seen a few pics and she is beautiful! from Rita Furr
Update on Bruce Hill: Bruce was moved from ICU last Tuesday to a step-down room. I have not heard anything since then. Please continue prayers as he recovers. from Bob Delahaya
My brother's medicine was approved by his insurance; prayers requested that it works! My nephew, Ian, has an appointment Monday with an orthopedic doctor for his shoulder due to possible rotator cuff damage. from Rita Furr
Pray for Carlton R. Hodges, who began as pastor of the Red Hill Church of the Brethren in Roanoke County, Virginia on February 1st. Let us pray that we will support, encourage and pray for those who undertake set-apart ministerial service. from Virlina District
Prayer request for a friend who fell from a ladder last week. They have several broken ribs, one in 5 places, a punctured lung which required a chest tube, and a crushed vertebrae. from Bob Delahaya
Let's say a special prayer for our world, nation, state, and cities that they may experience healing and unity. from Steve Reynolds
