Weekly Inspiration

“People are always asking me, ‘What do you want people to say about you a hundred years from now?’ I always say I want them to say, ‘Dang, don’t she still look good for her age?’”

~Dolly Parton~

Prayer Of The Week

Isaiah 43:2-4

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not consume you. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior…Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you.”

This week we pray for: McReynolds Center & Volunteers.
