RETIRED WORSHIPPER? NEVER!

“The whole idea of this article is great for Seniors who feel like they are 'spent' and 'done in'! Having no 'spiritual' calling to move them into a retirement age work position with salary attached, it is easy to feel that your days of contributing something worth while are over. Kingdom work requires youthful energy and vigor, both which may be lessening with advancing maturity of the body.” ~ Darlene Betzer

Let Us Pray …

At this point in our lives, most of us have learned to pray. We have raised our family, faced uncertainty, and overcome obstacles that tested our faith. One of the most meaningful ministries we can have now is to pray for others. Join with the National Prayer Center and find out how you can help take needs to the Lord. Visit their site at www.prayer.ag.org.
