Notice, we never pray for folks we gossip about, and we never gossip about the folk for whom we pray! For prayer is a great deterrent. -Leonard Ravenhill
The Care Fresno Kids Klub First Annual “School’s Out!” picnic was GREAT! We planned for 50 - expected 40 and got 77 kids and families! Praise God for such an exciting turnout!

Precious Jesus,
How can we ever express what is in our hearts towards You when all that we have is words? Search our hearts, LORD Almighty, and see that You are the King of our hearts. We love You and have built our lives upon You.
We praise You, Awesome God, for the Kids Klub picnic and for our Street Faire and for the chance to build relationships with our community. Continue to work in the hearts of those who live around us.
We pray, Great Physician, for Kirt Hunt, for Carol’s daughter-in-law, for Charlie Betts, for Sandy Hall, for Helen Noyes, for Biana Grogg, Nola Ambler, Merrill Hardison, and Lillian Seward. Heal their bodies.
We lift up Chris, Jon and the Aycock family as they grieve the passing of their grandma. Remind them that she is with You, now, and she is doing better than ever before.
Great is Your name, LORD God, and worthy are Yu to be praised. We lift our hearts to You in joyous abandon to Your unrelenting love for us.
We pray for those who remain on our prayer chain and thank You, mighty One, for what You have already done and are doing in each situation.
Thank You for our pastors, LORD God. Help us to always support them with our hearts, with our words and with our actions. They are Your chosen leaders, You have placed on them an awesome responsibility - help us to help them carry that responsibility.
Holy God, You have commanded us to go into the world and reach it in Your name. Give us eyes to see the daily opportunities to share the glory of You with those who don’t know You.
Pour out Your abundance on Your missionaries and on the ministries of Your Church.
God bless America and all who serve Her. Bring our nation back to You, Sovereign God.
You are God of the Angel Armies, You sit enthroned over eternity, You alone have the power of life and death, You hold the keys to heaven and the keys to hell. We humble ourselves before Your might.
