PLEASE PRAY for all those in physical or emotional pain. Help them to trust in the Lord who “heals the broken-hearted and binds up their wounds” (Psalm 147:3)

READ THE GOOD NEWS – Luke 17, 11-19 – If a leper who was also a Samaritan was the outcast in Jesus’s day – who are the outcasts in our world that we need to reach out to in the knowledge that God loves them as much as any one of us.
