Dear Sts. Peter and Paul Parishioners and Bike for Bryan Prayer Team,
God bless you for your every prayer for the Bike for Bryan Ride and for all -- especially young people -- who live with juvenile diabetes!
We are thrilled to report that the bikers biked over 400 miles and raised nearly $4,500 for the Bryan Evans Scholarship Fund.
Yes, thanks to your faithful intercessions and generosity some very special kids who live with the challenges of juvenile diabetes 24-7 will have the opportunity to attend KANAKUK KAMP -- a great Christian sports camp on a Bryan Evans Scholarship next summer.
If you know any young people interested in applying, please have them contact Kimie Barger at KANAKUK. Her email is kimie@kanakuk.com
Also, please feel free to pass on this current prayer sheet and please don’t stop praying!
With God ALL things are possible!
Again, many thanks and God bless you all,
Stan and Camille Schardon
Fall Prayer Sheet for
THE “BIKE FOR BRYAN” RIDE
Honoring 18-year-old Bryan Evans who died from a diabetic coma June 26, 2010
Prayer is the root, the fountain, the mother of a thousand blessings. St. John Chrysostom
PRAISE: Hallelujah! Praise God in his holy house of worship, praise him under the open skies; Praise him for his acts of power, praise him for his magnificent greatness; Let every living, breathing creature praise GOD! Hallelujah! Psalm 150: 1- 2, 6 The Message
CONFESSION: If we say we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and refusing to accept the truth. But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from every wrong. 1 John 1:8- 9 NLT
Most loving God, forgive me ____________________________.
