ELG Schools Community Day of Prayer

3/16/2020

"Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7

Dear ELG friends,
Due to schools closing, our ELG Schools Prayer Walk that was scheduled for this Wednesday, March 18 has now become an ELG Schools Community Day of Prayer. Let's join together in spirit to still pray over our school community from our homes! We encourage you to take some time this Wednesday, March 18 to pray--alone, with family or friends, at dinner or bedtime, throughout the day...please share this so many people will be praying!

If you'd like to use a guide or Scripture to help you in praying, use the buttons below.
