Gratitude and Appreciation

Thank You to the Genesis Sunday School class and the Thursday Night Bible Study group for hosting movie night last Sunday.
Worship Emphasis
Philippians 4:19 “My God will supply all your needs…” NIV
I have shared this verse with so many hurting people, and have claimed it frequently for myself. And I do realize that the key word is “need”. So many times, I am praying for what I “want” and I know I can function without my request even though it seems necessary to me. God has provided me with my “needs”, and I have learned (most of the time 😊) that this is enough.
