Friday–Sunday, March 4–6, married couples are invited to gather at the Westin Portland Harborview (Portland, Maine), with couples from Northern New England for a weekend of inspiring and practical lessons, great fellowship, and time to focus specifically on connecting as spouses. John and Arlene Markowski will invite us into the very real, ridiculous, and sometimes heart-wrenching aspects of their twenty-year love story. We look forward to our own self-discovery, refreshing marital tools, and inspiration with “This Is Us.”.

We are planning a Prayer Chain this coming week, 24 hours/day from Monday (Sunday midnight) through Friday (midnight). We are asking every member who would like to, to sign-up online for at least one slot to pray for an hour at some point during the week. Enter your name for the day and time you will pray and your phone number. If you choose, the person before you can call you and you can contact the person after you to pass the baton and pray together for 5–10 minutes. (If you cannot access the Google signup sheet, please work with a family group member to claim a slot.) Use the daily intercessory prayer themes, and watch email for additional prayer requests and ideas.

We continue our “Unified Intercessory Prayer” month. In the book The Ministry of Intercession, refer to the last chapter, “Pray Without Ceasing: Helps to Intercession.” Each day, please read the short devotional about what to pray and how to pray and then pray that day’s intercessory focus. Please give your heart and prayers to this effort and let us watch what God does with our incense!
