PRESBYTERY PRAYER Second Street Presbyterian, Albemarle; Pastor John Black

SCHOOL SUPPLIES School has started!  We are continuing to collect school supplies for needy children. You can bring supplies and put them in the designated box.  We will give these to Laura Kerr, Principal of Rockwell Elementary, for her to distribute at the school as needed.  Help a child get off to a great start! 

THANK YOU “Thank you so much for your help and donations for the book bag give-away.  More than 300 book bags, filled with school supplies, were given away; over 700 hotdog lunches were provided and over 50 free haircuts were given to children, ages K-5, and teenagers in Stanly and surrounding counties.”

Thank you, in the name of Jesus Christ,

“Second Street Presbyterian Church, Your thoughtfulness at this time has been so encouraging to us.  Thank you so much for your prayers and gifts. God is blessing us and He has His hand on us, we can feel his presence every day through the love of His people, such as you.  God Bless you all and thank you very much.”  Love in Christ, The Heathcocks (Ruthie & Steve)

STUDENT/TEACHER PRAYER CARDS We are asking for  Prayer Warriors for all of our students and teachers for the 2010/2011 school year.  If you will pray each day for a student or a teacher, please take a prayer card listing the name of a student or teacher after the service today.  Please contact your student or teacher to let them know you will be praying for them.  We ask that you stay in touch with them to provide encouragement and to ask for any special prayer needs they may have throughout the school year.
