As we enter back-to-school season, let us remember our children, youth, and college students. Sports and band practices are starting, college students are moving to campus, and classrooms are being prepared. Release Time and after-school programs are being planned. Pray for all young people that their learning aligns with the truth of God’s Word. Also, pray for teachers, homeschool parents, school staff, bus drivers, and coaches. Also, don’t forget the lunch lady! In a world where violence often affects our schools and campuses, pray for peace and safety. After the Lord God gave the Israelites the Ten Commandments, they were instructed to “Impress them on your children” (Deuteronomy 6:7 NIV). The Hebrew word used here implies sewing. In Brethren speak, we might say, “Quilt this truth into the very fabric of young lives.” We would no longer be enslaved to sin.
Please pray for the following congregations and pastors:
- Brandts Church Congregation in St. Thomas, PA and pastor Roger Myers
- Brick congregation in Maysville, WV and pastor Randy Cosner
