May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble; may the name of the God of Jacob defend you; (Psalm 20:1)
Lord Jesus, your church is deeply troubled, be with us and defend us; help us abide in the power of your name.
May he send you help from the sanctuary, and strengthen you out of Zion; (Psalm 20:2)
Holy Spirit, please strengthen us and strengthen Bishop Bill.
May he remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice. (Psalm 20:3)
Father, receive our offerings; help us daily offer ourselves and all that we possess to you. Thank you for receiving us.
A word received: Yield this day to me.
A word received: Look to me; keep your eyes on me.

Subject: Update on Father Nigel
Please continue to pray for Father Nigel Mumford in ICU at Saratoga Springs Hospital.
Fr. Nigel has been diagnosed with atypical pneumonia and was placed on a ventilator this morning, under sedation. The treatment is intended to eliminate coughing and slow his bodily system so that he can heal.
Pray that the Healer’s hands will guide and assist in all that the medical team is doing for Fr. Nigel this weekend and that the Holy Spirit will facilitate deeper healing from the inside out.
Pray also for Lynn Mumford and Sandra Lester — for rest and Spirit-supplied comfort and strength.
Please, no calls or visiting. Fr. Nigel needs our prayers and to rest.
