Prayer and Praise

Garrett & Lia Trainor

Italy

Praise 

Garrett started his second to last semester at seminary. We are thankful for how God has brought us this far and provided for our needs. 

Daniel is a joy and a little wonder child. He soldiered through the holiday madness well, even in the long drive to Arizona to visit family. 

Prayer 

We are hoping to have some important conversations this year with the mission agency in Italy that we visited last summer. Hopefully, plans to return definitively to Italy in 2025 will begin solidifying soon. Please pray for wisdom in discerning if Serenissima Ministries Group (SMG) is the agency God wants us to join. 

We anticipate a lot of work in the coming months, so we need the fullness of the Spirit all the more. 

 I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD!” (Psalm 122:1)

To encourage us to prepare our hearts for worship,

here are the songs for this Sunday:

Rejoice - The Modern Post, Stuart Townend

Psalm 150 - Matt Boswell, Matt Papa

Glorious and Mighty - Joel Sczebel, Todd Twining, Bob Kauflin

Jesus, Thank You - Pat Sczebel

Jesus Paid It All - Elvina M. Hall, John T. Grape, Alex Nifong

How Great is Our God - Chris Tomlin, Ed Cash, Jesse Reeves
