Featured Church/Mission: Free Grace Presbyterian Church (profile), Lewiston, Maine (Pastor Per Almquist)

1. Praise the Lord with us for an intimate church family, one that grows closer each month, and for the different types of people he is bringing to this part of his bride. Amazing to see who he is calling and how this family warms their hearts.

2. Pray for our pastor and our new elders as they work to become a well-oiled leadership team. Pray for their weaknesses to become strengths and for God’s amazing wisdom and energy to fill them.

3. Pray for all of our counseling clients; pray especially for two families involved with legal issues, where some serious abuse is going on. Pray for the truth to come to light in court, and for justice to be done.

4. Praise God for more new members who will be welcomed into the family in the next month.

5. Pray for each person who attends Free Grace to be fully aware that the difficulties we experience in this life are but light and momentary troubles when we consider God’s glory and all that awaits us in heaven.
