As we end this week’sÌýbulletin, let’s reflect on the challenges faced by many communities in the wake of recent typhoons and in anticipation of the approaching Typhoon Man-yi (Pepito), let us take a moment to offer our prayers:

“Heavenly Father, we lift up those who have been affected by the recent storms. Grant them strength, comfort, and hope in this difficult time. We pray for the safety of everyone in the path of Typhoon Man-yi and for minimal impact on lives and livelihoods. May those in need find support and resources, and may Your protection guide us through these challenges.”

Let us continue to stand in solidarity as a community, offering help and kindness to those in need.

Sincerely,
