Dear Friends,

We are eager to meet together for our next CS Monitor prayer session on Monday, August 10th at 7pm ET. These meetings bring forth insightful discussions and wonderful opportunities to come together in a thoughtful and prayerful way for our world. Tee will be our host. We would love to have you join us.

This week we have two related articles that we will consider together. One comes from THE MAGAZINE and the other has a focus of EDUCATION. The links are listed below. It is helpful to have read or listened to the articles beforehand, but you are welcome to join us regardless. Feel free to share this email with others who might want to participate, as well.

Parents are finding AI’s ability to distill reams of information a useful tool in the often overwhelming search for their children’s best college fit.

We are looking forward to this expression of church that propels us towards prayer.

Warmly

Your JP Monitor prayer team (Brian, Janell, Joe, Sarah and Tee)
