Starting Monday July First at 8 am Eastern Daylight time, We will begin our deep dive thru the book of Mark.

Editing note Colossians 4 verses 3 and 4 Paul says "Pray for us, too, that God will give us many opportunities to speak about his mysterious plan concerning Christ. That is why I am here in chains. Pray that I will proclaim this message as clearly as I should."

I, Khalil and not pastor Chris, mistakenly say "Pray that we will proclaim this message as clearly as we should." so yes do pray for us.
