Prayer Table report from Trinity Gloversville
Date: Sat, 09 May 2009
From: Rev. Jackie Jones
Subject: Prayer Table Report-Gloversville
We put out out Prayer Table again today. Two people stopped for prayer. Others came by, but didn’t want prayer.One person, Don, was a Jehovah’s Witness. Please pray for JoAnn- married to an alcoholic, Thomas, not in recovery, and their children Christine and Tommy. Also pray for Daniel- a young man, who is angry at those who want to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance. Unfortunately, he has thought about painting graffiti on billboards to get his point across. Tried to convince him that there were legal means to express himself and God didn’t want him to end up in jail.
Please pray that as the Farmer’s Market opens up nearby, many would come for prayer.
God Bless, Jackie+
