CELEBRATE:  

• Our very own Dr. Holly Marcolina was just named to a rural leadership cohort for the Smithsonian!!!!!!!!!  This puts the museums and personnel of the Smithsonian at the disposal of St. Lawrence County.  We think this is pretty cool and very worth thanking God for!  

County:

• Local Civil Servants & Upcoming County Legislative Elections: Pray for the candidates competing across the St. Lawrence County legislative districts (including Potsdam, Massena, and Canton). Pray that those elected are filled with a spirit of public service, local dedication, and wisdom to navigate community needs and city budgeting.
• Restoration for Displaced Fire Victims and Support for First Responders: Pray for the Norfolk families who were displaced after a heavy fire gutted a local two-story home. Give thanks that they escaped safely, and pray for their emotional and material recovery, as well as the continued safety of the responding North Country volunteer fire departments.
