HOLD ON TO YOUR BIRTHRIGHT!

Join the Fort McPherson Protestant Women of the Chapel as we explore the kinship we have with our Redeemer, Jesus Christ. We will discover the little ways we sometimes let go of that birthright as Esau did just for a cup of that "red stew."

Day 30
(Nov 13):

Pray for every woman attending conference to enter this conference with praise.

Psalm 100 Make a joyful shout to the LORD, all you lands! Serve the LORD with gladness; come before His presence with singing. Know that the LORD, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all generations.
