April 2009 Newsletter
Dear HPN members,
We hope you had a joyous Easter and that May will be a month full of new growth, in your yard and in your life! This is the time of year when our country celebrates the National Day of Prayer and I ask that you join us in praying for our nation, your state, city and the entertainment industry on Thursday, May 7th. Here is the verse that the NDOP Task Force has designated as the focus for prayer this year: "May your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord, even as we put our hope in you." Psalm 33:22
Let's pray this month for the people in Hollywood who have not yet met or experienced Jesus. When you see celebrities in the news or in magazines, remember to lift them up to God and ask Him to reveal Himself to them so that they melt into His arms. Below are some specific prayer needs, but they are only a representation of all of the needs of precious, creative artists in the entertainment industry who need our prayers to find hope, unconditional love, joy and Divine peace in their lives.
