| Greetings, Whosoever! I greet you with joy and gladness as we celebrate this blessed day! It’s a great day, a good day, a truly God-inspired day! Across many translations, the word “whosoever” appears 511 times—most notably in John 3:16: “For God so loved the world, that God gave us Jesus, that whosoever believes in Jesus should not wither, but have long-lasting life.” This powerful word reminds us that God’s love is open to everyone—whosoever believes and seeks Jesus Christ! One of my favorite passages involving “whosoever” is Mark 11:20-26, where Jesus addresses the importance of faith and prayer. Jesus teaches that those who have strong faith and approach God humbly can believe that whatever they ask for will be granted. This is a beautiful reminder that prayer has the power to change lives and situations. In these challenging times—whether praying for our neighbors, those affected by the Central Texas flooding, or for the future of our church and nation—we are called to come together in prayer. Prayer is a direct line of communication with God, an act that requires no formalities but holds immense power. It’s through prayer that we petition God for healing, comfort, guidance, and peace. Our Deacon leadership and prayer partners are committed to standing at the prayer wall each week, interceding for our faith community. I am deeply grateful for these faithful servants, as well as for the new cohort of deacons who will lead our efforts over the next two years. They will focus on Congregational Care, Spiritual Development, Outreach, and Congregational Presence—all essential facets that help us reach the “whosoever” in our community. Our goal is to build a faith-based community rooted in inclusion, where everyone can find a place to thrive and grow in Christ. So I encourage each of you—spend time in prayer this week. Pray for your neighbors, for our church leadership, for our country, and for our world. Remember, we are the whosoever—God’s children called to make a difference through the simple yet profound act of prayer. Be blessed!  Kedric Brown RMCC Deacon |
