Launchpad.kiwi - (Bibles in Schools) https://launchpad.kiwi
We submitted a Launchpad package to Templeton Primary school last month, requesting us to do presentations to the children. We are now waiting for the School Board to approve it. Once it is approved, we will be able to do presentations in Templeton Primary School. If you, or you know someone who may be interested in being a presenter (with online training), please contact Tru, 022 69 20113 for further information.
Today’s Sentence and Prayer
Sentence: Take delight in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. (Psalm 37:4)
Prayer of the Day: Everliving God, you are always more ready to hear than we to pray, and to give more than we desire or deserve; pour upon us the abundance of your mercy, forgiving us those things of which our conscience is afraid, and giving us those things for which our prayer dares not ask; through Jesus Christ, who is alive with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
