Thy kingdom come is one of the most practical prayers to pray. When the kingdom of Jesus is born into hearts, families are healed (children nurtured in tender loving homes without all the drama and strife), hatred is replaced by love, getting is replaced by giving, unforgiveness replaced by forgiveness, and on and on we can go. During July pray that Jesus would become the king in your family and anticipate his answer to your sincere prayer.

We also need to be notified if a meeting is cancelled. Stop in the office, call or tsimons@mentorumc. org. Thank you!
