Dear God, we pray for
Mr. Glenn Van Dijken as he serves the region of Barrhead – Morinville –
Westlock. Help him in whatever he does
and may he have Your wisdom for the decisions that have to be made. We pray for peace as serving in government
can be stressful. May he know that he is
making a difference for the people of Alberta and is appreciated. Amen.
