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. (Grade 6 student)
