On Friday, May 18^th, representatives of Abiding Presence will begin their journey to Ethiopia where they will physically help build a clean water well with Water to Thrive. 

Please pray for them.

“O Christ, You walked with Cleopas and his companion on the road to Emmaus

and opened their eyes to see Your presence. We ask You to accompany

Jo, Lane, Bobbie and Larry as they journey to Ethiopia.

Open their eyes to see Your presence in the community that receives

clean water from the new well. Be with them as they witness this gift;

bring them safely home to share what they have seen and heard.

Open our hearts and minds so that we learn from their witness among us. Amen.”

Ethiopian women and children travel miles to harvest water daily.  This well will allow them to not only have clean water, but provide more time in the day to attend school, care for family, and worship. 

Clean water is something we as American often take for granted.  As you pour a clean drink of water from your tap, I invite you to take time each day to pray for our travelers.  As you wash dishes in your sink with public water, I invite you to pause and think about those that are receiving clean water.  As you water your lawn or wash your clothes, I invite you to thank God for the blessing of water.  Print out the prayer above and stick it on your fridge, copy and past it and make it your screensaver, or better yet, make www.aplc.org your home page and read it every time you open your browser. 

Our travelers will return on June 2nd.  Please watch for opportunities to come and listen to their stories and open your hearts to learn how God is changing the lives of others through our hands.  God be with you Lane, Jo, Larry and Bobbie as you travel!

See you in the pew,

Pastor Steve
