“So then let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding.”
Romans 14:19
Special Requests:
Gracious Father, Yours is the gift of life and life everlasting in the life, death, and resurrection of Your Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ. In our hour of grief, You do not leave us but surround us with Your comforting Gospel that we might grieve with hope. In Your wisdom, You have called Jackie Acosta to Your side to receive the fuller expression of salvation. Please comfort her family and friends with Your tender mercy. Remind them in these days that ours is the victory over death in Christ’s resurrection. Even in deepest pain and loss, give comfort in the hope of Christ’s return, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
