MNA Committee work:
Burlington: Pray for preparations for the committee’s next meeting on March 31 and for further progress in moving toward a joint church planting/RUF work in Burlington, Vermont. Pray particularly for:
a. Follow-up with candidates for the two lead positions and clarity on the men God is calling to lead this project forward. We will be calling references for one (RUF) candidate this week and are talking to several others.
b. Presentations being made around the presbytery. Two have recently been done and others are coming up in the near term. Pray for unity throughout the presbytery in support of this effort.

NNEP:
Herb Shipman: Pray for adequate support to be forthcoming to support Pastor Shipman in his work as an evangelist to the dairy farming community of northern Vermont. Give thanks for the recent newcomers to his Bible study and the evident work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of a number of those attending.

Mike Viera: Continue to pray for Mike, a candidate under care in the presbytery, during his year-long deployment to Afghanistan as a member of the Army reserves. Pray for his wife, Andrea, and three children as they deal with this time away from Mike (living in Vermont and attending Trinity Presbyterian).
