Dinner Prayers: Our Storytellers

Current RSVP Count: 196
Thank you to everyone who is praying for a full house!

One of the big things God has provided is many talented and dedicated volunteers who will be part of our program. Our desire is to passionately proclaim the story of God's redeeming love, as it plays out right here in our own streets, schools and doughnut shops. Please pray specifically today for our story-tellers:

1) For God to lead them in their preparation
2) For God to protect them from sickness, distraction and harm and
3) For God to bless them with the joy of his presence.

Jenny Hall
Jenny is directing a cast of readers, musicians and dancers to recreate some greatest hits from Streetlamp Studio's When Justice and Peace Kiss productions. She will be using two pieces written by our own youth, Jamal and Dami'on. She is also weaving in themes from a storytelling session she led for a small group of youth and adults from Church of the Redeemer.

Maria Esther Hernandez
Maria lives near the corner of Kenwood and 30th and has been leading her neighbors in community-building for over 10 years. She has agreed to share a moving testimony of how Christian neighbors banded together to advocate for justice on behalf of her family. She told Richard last night, "I have SO MUCH to share." We are so grateful for the ways God has worked through Maria's courage and determination, and so grateful for her willingness to tell the story publicly.

Richard Parks
Richard will be telling the story of our 17-year partnership with Tom and Rose Roark as he presents them with our "Friend on the Journey" award. Our tutoring program could not exist in it's present form without their overwhelmingly generous support. He will also be telling the story of how God is leading us forward, and how each person's partnership can make a difference in this community.
