Verse
Ephesians 3:14-21 / Prayer for the Ephesians
For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. (NIV)
President's Report
Hello all,
Please keep the prayers going for CJ as he continues to heal and do therapy. Hopefully soon he can rejoin us at the meetings.
Lots of new things going on and continued efforts are greatly appreciated. The EOC is still a work in progress as we move forward with the efforts but still more to do. Packet should be restored soon and Winlink is being added to our list of things to utilize there. We will soon hold a discussion on a RACES group for the EOC. Anyone wanting to participate is welcome.
Classes are being discussed but no dates are set at this time.
What are your thoughts on DMR. Come to the meeting and lets discuss. See you there.
