Sad Prayer Request
This evening before church in our ministry / band / tech team meeting we asked the group for prayer requests and the youth pastor asked us to pray for a teenage girl in our church youth group who has a very bad home life and the only bright spot in her life is the church and church youth group who are ministering to her. Now her parents have decided that to punish her they will not allow her to come to church either oh the weekends or for the midweek youth groups / small groups.
I can't imagine parents not wanting their teenage child to do a good thing like attend church and work on being Christ like. It is a crazy world we live in.
Please pray for this young woman. I don't know her name but she lives in Murfreesboro, TN and the Experience Community is her church.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"
