Pray for effective follow up with the victims, including ongoing medical care, mental health support, and for steps to prevent the outbreak of disease


Knowing the blessings of God in worship  ‘Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Jesus Christ throughout all generations, for ever and ever!” Ephesians 3:20-21. 
Ask that as you worship today you may know the blessing of God’s ability to constantly exceed our expectations of him.
