Quote for the Week
A servant’s heart understands that the greatest reward is the impact they make on others.
Weekly Prayer
A Servant’s Prayer: Give me a servant’s heart, O Lord; A soul that longs for you, a spirit that daily seeks your will, and strength to follow through. Give me ears to listen to the cries that go unheard, A mouth that speaks in kindness and proclaims your perfect word. Give me eyes to see the things that grieve your only Son and hands that reach out for the lost until your work is done Give me legs that
swiftly carry me through the race, and when I’m finished let me leave footprints marked with grace Amen
