How can you cultivate an atmosphere of prayer in your home?
Prayer is a central aspect of the Christian life. Yet, many of us may face questions like, “why do we pray?” and “how should we pray?” In this Parent Connection, we refelcted on the gift of prayer in our lives—what it is, and why we do it. We discussed barriers to praying and we shared practical ideas for ways to pray as a familiy.
Remember to set your clocks ahead one hour for next Sunday, March 13, 2016.

Home sweet home! We were sent on our way with hugs and messages of love and gratitude, both to the team and to Glenwood. That word is uttered in loving tones by everyone we meet. Glenwood's support is recognized and greatly appreciated. And sending a team is vastly appreciated and very encouraging to Wawa & Josette, Johny & Rosadite, Lauren & Mason, and the teachers & students at Merger.
Thank you for your part in this visit and supporting Haiti efforts.
Gratefully,
We dedicated the house today, and visited Merger. Compared to the slum we've been in all week, Merger is lavish! There is space between the home; trees; and grassy open spaces.
We had a lot of fun interacting with the students during their recess time. Some of us got to meet our sponsored children. We also delivered some school supplies from Glenwood. Most of the kids we talked to said they love Glenwood and their sponsors.
