Midweek Devotional and Update
May 27, 2020 |
Dear Fourth Family,
How is your prayer life going these days? When mine grows stale, I draw great refreshment from the ever timely and applicable prayers of the Apostle Paul. In today’s video devotional, I reflect on Colossians 1:11-14.
I hope you can join us tonight at 5:30 p.m. for Congregational Prayer. At 6:00 p.m., stay on the Zoom call for discussion with the pastors on the question, “How can a good God allow a worldwide pandemic?”
Grace and Peace,
Todd
