Winners in their age category will move up to district, regional and state levels. Have your child be part of the fun.

LET US PRAY FOR OUR COUNTRY In a time when our country is so divided, the Tri-County Clergy Association come together to unite our voices and take a stand against racism and injustice, and recognize that we are all part of God’s family. Join with us for a worship service on Sunday, January 14

th 7:00 PM at West

Milford Presbyterian Church (1452 Union Valley Rd. West Milford). Join with churches of different denominations as we come together and celebrate that we are all God’s beloved children. The service will be interactive and there will be opportunities to share our dreams for the future; as we gather to remember the life of Martin Luther King Jr. and the movement that he was an integral part of, as they fought for the civil rights of all people. Let us work together to build a better world.

PRAYER FOR THE NEW YEAR

I pray for those who long for your healing of the year we leave behind

and for your peace in the year we've just begun...

I pray you give the grace we need, Lord, to begin again, to trust again, to try again,

to hope again in you and in your love for us…

Send your Spirit, Lord, to open our minds and hearts

to all you'll offer us in the year ahead...

May this truly be a year of grace: may your mercy be our healing and your healing be our hope…

Give us what we need, Lord, to begin again, to trust again, to try again,

to hope again in you and in your love for us….

Amen.
