NGU PARENT E-NEWSLETTER
VERSE OF THE MONTH
PARENTS IN PRAYER

The monthly prayer focus for May is "Confidence."

Pray for bold faith, because faith and confidence in God go hand-in-hand.

Pray for discernment to say "no" to things that would hinder the duties and ultimate work that God has in store.

Praise God for this year and the opportunities that we have had to grow in confidence as we have made our requests known to Him.
