As Dani and Josh look forward to holy matrimony, I am humbled by their commitment and love for one another. As they stand at the alter, Pilot and Co-Pilot, embarking on the flight of life together, I am reminded of Philippians, Chapter 2, Verses 2-4. "then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others." I am grateful to witness their exchange of vows and the departure that begins their unified life.

After being robbed 5 years ago of a reunion, The Format now has a few shows scheduled. I'd like to ask that we all pray for the safety of these shows and all that attend. May these shows be free of locusts, plague, famine, pestilence, global pandemics, and all matters of unhappiness. I ask that anyone that may come in the way of these joyous and eventful evenings be struck down and cast to hell for eternity.

I'd like to ask that you pray for our dear parishioner Nick. His mind has been clouded and evil has stolen his ability to see the value of a cargo net. I quote Ephesians 5:11-14 "Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead even expose them; for it is disgraceful even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret. But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light. For this reason it says, "Awake, sleeper, And arise from the dead, And Christ will shine on you."" May Nick awake and open his heart to cargo nets.

As Caitlyn and Derek have come together to form a sacred and eternal bond, I pray that I may be the one to bind their lives together.

I'd like to ask that you pray for our dear parishioner, Jason, as he was in a car accident today and needs thoughts and prayers.

I'd like to ask that you pray for our dear parishioners, Bob and Holly, as they are tested in these trying times. Just as Job was tested and prevailed, so shall they with our strength. As christianquotes.info shares, "God has Satan on a leash. He allows him some freedom, but Satan's freedom is designed to bring about much good, as God uses evil for God (Genesis 50:20; John 3:16). Even though God is not the author of evil, much good comes from evil, so it's not surprising that God allowed Satan to test Job, and so "the Lord said to Satan, "Behold, all that he has is in your hand. Only against him do not stretch out your hand." So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord" (Job 1:12). The point is, he may test us too."
