Let’s Talk 2016! (Pt. 1)

Sharon Couchman

Is there any Good News for this year?

Arise, Shine for Thy Light Has Come

Betty Dewhirst

“Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old.  Behold, I will do a new thing; even now it shall spring forth.  For I will even make a way, a way in the wilderness.  I will make a way for my people, to give drink to my chosen ones.  And rivers, and rivers, and rivers shall flow in the desert and rivers of waters shall flow in the wilderness.  For I have formed myself a people, and they shall show forth my praise.”  Isaiah 43: 18-19

Our Hiding Place

Sharon Couchman

Last week was rough for many Americans as we watched in horror the shootings in Colorado Springs, CO and San Bernardino, CA.  Our hearts and prayers are for the families who lost precious loved ones in the massacres.  Pray for the injured to totally recover in Jesus’ name.

The Morningside Prayer Team will continue to pray for these families and friends during this season of loss. Continue reading
