There are people in both our congregation and community who experience loneliness as the winter passes. Let's keep them in prayer, and when we have a moment, perhaps we can stop by for a short visit. We remember those who work in the legal system, judges, lawyers, clerks and all the rest. God has blessed us with a fair and just legal system in Canada, so let us be thankful for his gift and keep in prayer those who make it fair for all of us.
