PRAYERS OF THE WEEK:
For Our Student
We took a week off from Thrive and Fusion for Spring Break. Pray that students would feel real rest this week. Pray for the decisions they make when they have so much free time. We also took this week as an opportunity to have some informal hang outs, pray that as students and leaders come together that the bonds between them would strength, and the Lord would use this time just as much as we see Him working on Tuesday nights. Pray over the conversations that happen there. As we lead in to Easter, pray for those who do not yet know the Lord as their personal Savior. Pray they would come to church Sunday and here the good news that He offers! Pray for soft hearts and an understanding of His word.

For Our Ministry
Pray that the Gospel is proclaimed boldly, clearly, and often. Pray that the good news of God’s grace would be received and trusted. Pray for revival to come to Fusion and Thrive.  

PRAYER REQUESTS FROM OUR STUDENTS:
 - That my brother would come back to God. 
- I’ve made some bad decisions lately and I’ve missed youth group for the last few months. I’ve hurt some people and I’ve been hurt and I’ve been really sad. Please pray for me to focus on God and the important things in life and not try to wear a mask or make my own happiness. 
- Trying to keep up with homework but also keeping in touch with God. Being able to bring others to God. Being more connected to God. 
- Be joyful, be strong through temptation, know how to help people in my life, know when to help them, know when they call and help lift them up again.

Pray that as we go into Spring Break that our students would have opportunities to experience a joy that only comes from their Heavenly Father.

PRAYERS OF THE WEEK:
For Our Students
This week the Gospel was clearly presented and we had one student respond to it and give his life to Christ! Pray that the other students who also heard this Good News would be wrestling with it. Pray that God makes Himself known to them, and continues to pursue them.
