Today we celebrate the lives and ministry of Lydia, Dorcas, and Phoebe, biblical witnesses to the faith. (And my niece Sheri's birthday. She'd be right at home with those gals!) )

                           The Letter to the saints &

                                    the faithful brothers &

                                       sisters in Colossae 3:6-7

As 

you 

have 

received 

Christ 

Jesus

the Lord, 

…continue to live 

your lives in him, rooted &

built up 

in him… abounding 

in thanksgiving.

[As] you inspired 

Lydia, Dorcas 

& Phoebe to support and sustain your church by their deeds of generous love; open our hearts to hear 

you, conform our will to love you & strengthen our hands to serve you."    

                            
                        Pray for all who serve Christ with the gifts that each has been given.
