Hello Everyone!

Many of you will graduate from 8th grade this month. It can be a sad time of saying good-byes to friends and memories of middle school and an exciting time of new beginnings for this summer and the coming years of high school. I am both excited for you and proud of you all! When I graduated from high school, a friend passed along this prayer to me. I thought you all might enjoy it.

Dear God,
I have knowledge, so will You show me now,
How to use it wisely and find a way somehow
To make the world I live in a little better place,
And make life with its problems a little bit easier to face.
Grant me faith and courage and put purpose in my days,
And show me how to serve You in effective ways.
So my education, my knowledge, and my skill
May find their true fulfillment as I learn to do Your will.
And may I ever be aware in everything I do,
That knowledge comes from learning, and wisdom comes from You.
Amen.
This is a prayer I have for all of you.  I hope you will join us for youth group this month.  Everyone is always welcome!  Please feel free to call or email me anytime--home: 777-0541, Galena UMC: 777-0192, 1st Presbyterian: 777-0229, email: galena@umyf.net .

Fly with Christ!
