View this email in your browser Legislative Snapshot United We Stand                                 July 13, 2024 As the RNC delegates are gathering in Milwaukee this weekend to launch their convention on Monday, we continue to maintain our own vigil in prayer and in fasting. We are praying their platform will align with the will of God in all matters, especially concerning pro-life issues and the need to stand by Israel and against any anti-Semitism. “that you may love the LORD your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.” (Deut. 30:20)   Plan now to join us this Monday, July 15th, to hear our Guest Speaker, Sheri Carbone! Sheri is the founder of Grace Ministries in the State of Washington, and has been a faithful prayer warrior for many, many years, hidden in the closet of prayer.
