On Sunday we were told about high school classes that were moving into our church (Hennepin Avenue Methodist Church). It is a program for high school students. Many of these students are homeless and transient. We were asked to take a name (I took two) and pray for these students. Each night I pray for them before I go to bed. Sometimes my prayers have brought questions to my mind, mainly about the school. Do they get breakfast and lunch? Are the teachers prepared to teach? Last night while I was at a church meeting, I asked some of these questions. My pastor wasn't sure, but I knew she was interested and wanted to help because she wrote down the questions. At this point, I was moved to volunteer. I asked her to pass on my name (and credentials) and said that I would teach/volunteer on the days when they were in session while my school was not in session. Once again, I prayed for these two students last night. I also said thanks for the ministry of my church.
Feel free to pray for Raymond and Shanell with me (or pass thoughts through the universe). Extra thoughts never hurt.
