Adults) that it would be undeniable that God is present and that these young people would learn how to pray and be in community.

2. Please pray for Holy Family’s EDGE Leadership Team that we would grow and be united as a team, grow our leadership skills and

come to understand what it means to be a humble leader.

3. Please pray for our Elementary and High School Teachers that they would be encouraged and strengthened in times of busyness and

that they would see Christ in their students and that their students would see Christ in them.
