Please pray for the Redemptive Compassion book studies that are beginning. Pray that God would draw people to these studies with open hearts and minds and that through our discussions we would discern God’s will as we seek to serve Him and His people. Pray that the Holy Spirit would reveal Himself to us and unite us as a Body as we study together. Love INC study groups are starting on Friday mornings, beginning May 10 and on Sunday evenings, beginning June 2. Contact director@mhlinc.org for more information.

Please pray for the many needs of our neighbors.

· For neighbors facing eviction or unsafe conditions at home.

· For neighbors struggling with broken relationship which result in loneliness, guilt, depression, and hopelessness.

· For neighbors with estranged family members – that God would bring restoration and reconciliation.

· For neighbors who are currently attending our relational ministry classes – that their hearts will be open to God, His Word, and His guidance for them.

· For neighbors expecting a new baby in the coming months – for both the moms and their unborn children to stay healthy and for the deliveries to be without complications.

· For neighbors who recently experience the loss of a close friend or family member – to know the comfort that God offers to them.

Please pray for God’s blessing on the many Love INC events happening this month.
