2. Violence in Englewood – Our hearts cringe when article after article speak of continued violence across the city, especially in Englewood. Romans 8:22 speaks of the very earth groaning in pain as it awaits full redemption. The streets of Englewood echo this cry. Family after family replicate this severe mourning as another son… another daughter… another husband… another uncle dies due to human hatred. Lord draw near! Cover those that have experienced so much heartache. Turn individuals, families, entire blocks and neighborhoods unto yourself. Lord, send many witnesses, who like John the Baptist, will unashamedly proclaim the GOOD NEWS to dark streets that crave light. Light will triumph!
3. Reading Specialists Parent Covenant – Pray for our Reading Specialist team as they draft a covenant to use with parents, encouraging them to support and encourage their child while we are working with them throughout the year. The team’s goal is to build up connections with the students’ parents which will hopefully aid in building a team of supporters for the students’ learning.
A verse to take with you today: Isaiah 41:10 “Fear not for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
Earlier this month Chicktime leaders from around the United States gathered together on a ranch in Bandera, Texas. It was an amazing experience to meet so many women on a mission. A mission to spread love and service to young girls throughout the world. In one word…POWERFUL!!!! If you have not yet found an organization that you would like to build a relationship and share your gifts, maybe there is a reason you stumbled upon this website. Chicktime needs you, just as much as you need chicktime. I am currently seeking women of all gifts and talents to share with the young girls in our organization, By The Hand Club for Kids.
We welcome you with open arms!
