Friday March 2, 7:30 pm (8:15 show) at Memorial Hall: LWCF presents “Courageous”! Four men, one calling: To serve and protect. As law enforcement officers, Adam Mitchell, Nathan Hayes, David Thomson, and Shane Fuller are confident and focused. Yet at the end of the day, they face a challenge that none of them are truly prepared to tackle: fatherhood. When tragedy hits home, these men are left wrestling with their hopes, their fears, their faith, and their fathering. Can a newfound urgency help these dads draw closer to God ... and to their children? Protecting the streets is second nature to these men. Raising their children in a God-honoring way? That's courageous.

PRAYER FOCUS  

*    Pray for our local schools, teachers, administrators, and all working to teach our children wisdom, morals and skills.   May they take seriously their responsibility to the next generation.
*    Pray for those without steady employment, without shelter and the basic necessities that we take for granted.
*    Pray for an appreciation of all we have, to ‘count our blessings’ daily
*    Pray for all families.
