Weekly Prayer
Almighty God, who gives strength to the weak and upholds those who might fall, give me the
courage to do what is right for those that trust in you have no need to fear. As we gather

through Christ our Lord. , Amen

was the right time for me to apply. It was a long process which began in October of last year but 4
months on, I have been accepted and placed at a camp in Virginia, America. I am so excited for the
experiences this coming summer will hold and I am so grateful to have been given the chance to spend 3 months working in
