SUNDAY RESOURCES
Recordings
We are recording our Sunday messages once again! You can listen to them here. That same link can also be found at the bottom of our website.
COMMUNITY CONCERNS
If you’ve got something to share with SOMA’s community by way of prayer request or a call for help from the body, let me know and I’ll put those here.
Mandy Lawler
Mandy is in Louisville, Kentucky for a ministry/missions internship this summer. She is very underfunded right now and asks for us to pray that the Lord will provide that. She also asks for prayer for peace and clarity and that many people would be receptive to their efforts and that they would be good, loving neighbors.
Darci Scott
Darci would like prayer for her family: her mom is recoving from hernia surgery, her cousin has pancreatic cancer, her friend has heart problems, and for her cousin to get treatment to help her walk.
