Students and teachers as evaluation and report card time

of a busy and stressful time in the semester.
Those who are in any need or distress: those who are sick
at home or in hospital, those recovering from accidents or long-term
illness; all who are lonely or grieving the loss of loved ones: that
they might find comfort and strength in God’s abiding
presence.
