Dec 10 – Prov 22:6 – What About the Kids / Where to Start – Beverly
Dec 11 – Teachable Moments – Jennifer

Let’s Pray: Father God, as we go into our last week of this study, I pray that you will open our hearts and minds to what you have for each one of us. For those of us with children or those of us blessed to have nieces and nephews or other children in our lives, Lord, we ask that you show us how to be a positive spiritual influence in their lives. I pray that you touch each child represented by every woman participating in this study and bless them as they grow into the men and women you created them to be. Help us to guide them and teach them in Your ways, Father. In Jesus precious and holy name, I pray, Amen!
