by faith. So we see Peter preaching conversion as

he has been told to do. Conversion is possible

Prayer for Fine Weather “All powerful and ever living God, we find security in your care and love for us. Give us the fine weather we pray for and now badly need. Bless the hard work and efforts of so many of our people that their labors may come to fruition. Be especially mindful of the struggles of those in the farming community as they negotiate the challenges that the poor weather has brought. In gratitude we remember their kindness and helping hands during the recent snowstorms. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen”
