Pray for this weekend as some of the team members and Urban Hope volunteers seek to serve the people in this community. In addition, the team is excited to have a group of ten people joining them from the Waldorf Grace Brethren Church. Pray for the group that it would be a meaningful time of ministry and full of opportunities to serve and share Jesus. |
