A 2002 MET ASSIGNMENT TO UNITE AND BLESS US WITH 5 SHINING LIFE GIFTS!
We are delighted to be experiencing CEDARS best-yet Summer in 2002 and are grateful for your key part in it! Let’s “join hands” in a metaphysical “CEDARS Circle” of prayer. At the top of every hour (or at the start of every activity) let’s each take a few “mo-mets” to pray for ourselves and to cherish those who we seek to bless this summer.
To unify our efforts, let’s study a citation or 2 each hour & find ways to make our own and share these 5 CedarS Shining Life Gifts promised to all in 2002.
