No matter how we feel, no matter our circumstances. "I cried out, 'I am slipping!' but your unfailing love, O LORD, supported me. When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer." (Psalm 94:18, 19) May we learn the joy of completely depending on God shown by the persistence of our prayers.

Prayer Conference, this Sunday, September 7 I am looking forward to a time of spiritual refreshing this Sunday as Gary
Miller comes and leads us in our Prayer Conference. Gary will speak during Sunday school in the Fellowship Hall and during the worship service. Come early for break-
fast and fellowship before Sunday school.
Prayer has been a struggle for me more than any of the disciplines of the
Christian life. But the Lord has been very gracious in teaching me how to walk with Him and how important prayer is in that walk. Let me share with you some of the
things the Lord has been teaching me.
"Listen, O LORD! Please, pay attention! Can you make sense of these ram-
blings, my groans and cries? My King and my God, I need your help. Every morn-ing you’ll hear me at it again. Every morning I lay out the pieces of my life on your
altar and watch for fire to descend." Psalm 5:1-3
Like a man drowning and is gasping for breath is a believer who understands he
cannot live and function without prayer. Prayer is when our eyes and full attention are on God rather than on the swirling currents of life's hardships and difficulties
that threaten to suck us down.
Prayer is when we desperately cling to Him and hold nothing back, throwing our-
selves at His feet of mercy and grace. It is to wait patiently, to trust God fully, to depend on Him completely. No matter how we feel, no matter our circumstances.
"I cried out, 'I am slipping!' but your unfailing love, O LORD, supported me. When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer." (Psalm
94:18, 19)
May we learn the joy of completely depending on God shown by the persistence of
our prayers.

Every Parent wants to raise great kids, yet often we fall short of our dreams. Sometimes we’re just too busy and distracted. Some of us had less than ideal role models. Some of us are working at it, but we just don’t have a good game plan. Are you willing to invest one day in order to empower your kids... forever? With God’s help and a plan, you can raise truly great kids. This conference is a grace-based, character-driven model to nurture con-fident and cooperative kids-and have a great time in the process.
Parenting is the biggest job you will ever do. Give it your best.
This fun, fast-paced conference delves into:
What it takes to raise kids in the midst of busy lives.
Practical ways to take the fear out and put the fun back into parenting
Preparing your child’s heart to re-ceive God’s plan
Turning heartache to hope with your rebellious child
How to bring out the best in your strong-willed child
Creating an environment of love and respect
Giving your child tools to practically deal with their culture
How to lead your child to be a great adult
When it comes to parenting, the days are long... but the years are short.
