Pray for Wisdom
James 1:5 (CEB): But anyone who needs wisdom should ask God, whose very nature is to give to everyone without a second thought, without keeping score. Wisdom will certainly be given to those who ask.
Peace be with you. Stay safe. Stay strong. Take care of one another.
Julie B. Noel, President, NTC UMW
