Prayers Needed - Southern California Wildfires
​​
Devastating wildfires in Southern California have destroyed thousands of homes and other structures, and unfortunately there have been fatalities and injuries.
​​
Several of our PSD congregations and schools are in or near the fire areas, with many church and school families losing their homes. There has not been major property damage to our churches and schools, although Palisades Lutheran in Pacific Palisades is uninhabitable for many months.
​
Please continue to pray for the affected families and communities, and for the area churches, pastors and members who seek to serve their communities with the love of Jesus.

Verse of the Week
And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!” And when he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?” And the crowds said, “This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.”
Matthew 21:9-11
