Thoughts

Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ

Greetings from Lake Junaluska. As I was preparing for the convening of the Jurisdictional Conference in my devotional time this morning, my thoughts turned to all of you and your ministries "back home."

Please receive this prayer from my heart and know that it was offered to our Lord this morning for you:

I give thanks to God for you- thanks for our partnership in the Gospel; thanks for your faithfulness in adversity and in ease; thanks for your witness to Christ. May the peace and love of God surround you; may God's grace fill you and flow through you; and may your lives produce a harvest of righteousness to the glory of God through Christ our Lord.

Grace and peace to you.

Carl
