PRAYERS OF THE WEEK:
For Our Student
This week both Thrive and Fusion had their annual Christmas parties and we had fun! Nights like these are meant to create laughter and memories, and we did just that! Pray that as we enter the Christmas season and with that, Christmas break, that students would be protected and safe. That those students that have rough family situations would be at peace and comforted during this time of year. That this time would be a time of family and togetherness. Pray that God would squelch any anger or animosity that might be floating through families.

For Our Ministry
Pray that the light of the church and the heart of the family would continually come together to reach and raise the next generation in Christ Jesus

PRAYER REQUESTS FROM OUR STUDENTS:
- Pray I am not angry all the time at the smallest things
- Pray for me as I decide who should be in my life and who shouldn't.
- Pray for my walk with God. I've felt very far away from Him lately. 
- Pray that I can make some friends who are supportive. Pray that I remain strong in my faith.
- Pray for a good Christmas for my family and I.

 STUDENTS IN OUR MINISTRY:

PRAYERS OF THE WEEK:
For Our Student
This week we continued to look at what God says about family. We talked about how the Bible calls us to obey our parents. Pray our students see the value of respecting their parents and their family; that by doing this they are also pleasing and obeying God. Pray that out of their obedience God would show them blessing. Pray for those students who have a tough time respecting their parents because of brokenness. Pray that God would give them strength, courage, and comfort.

For Our Ministry
Pray that our students and leaders would see God for who He is, see themselves the way God sees them, and love others the way God does.

PRAYER REQUESTS FROM OUR STUDENTS:
- Stress and anxiety, find purpose in life, get a better group of friends; forgive those who have hurt me
- I am struggling with giving God a specific portion of my life and confessing a specific sin to Him. I need to give that part of my life up to Him and complete surrender.
- Pray for my family. School is a struggle and my relationship with God. Pray to avoid temptation.
- I would like  prayer to help my confidence and self-esteem.

  STUDENTS IN OUR MINISTRY:
Please take a moment to pray for these students individually. Pray over their week, family life, friendships, and character.
