Prayer Requests from The Light: Bromley Temple Corps Two family situations have been posted on The Light prayer board this week. They are both serious situations and names have, therefore, been withheld. However, the Lord knows about the families involved and will hear our prayers: Corps Officers Lt. Colonels Graham & Kirsten Owen Please pray for K*** and B***. That the Family Court hearing will not be adjourned and that the Lord’s will might be done. Please pray for L**** and C****, who have been placed in foster care. And for their parents. From a grieving grandma.

Some of you may remember Ron who was both a bandsman and colour sergeant, and will want to uphold his wife Marjorie in your prayers.
