WEEKLY PRAYER REQUESTS:

• Pray for Woodlands Youth (kickoff tonight!) and Woodlands Kids (kickoff next Tuesday).  Ask for protection, energy and joy for leaders.  Pray for strength in relationships between group leaders and students, and that new and deep connections will be made quickly.  Pray for students that are carrying hurt, pain, trauma, or mental + emotional burden.  Ask that Woodlands is a place where the joy and peace of Christ and His love is palpable!
• Pray for sustained energy for our staff team as scheduled commitments and task-loads continue to increase as ministries kick off.
• Pray for careful spending by the church leadership. Ask that God would provide conviction and accountability as tithed dollars are spent in ministry areas. Pray that the staff would never fall into an unhealthy spending culture.
• Pray for our supported missionaries Phil + Teri.  Pray for their final push for financial support to get them to Uganda, and for a long-term renter for their house!
