CIRCLE OF TRUST
PRAYER
MOLESKIN
Romans 5:3-4  Not only so, for we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that sufferings produces perseverance, perseverance character, and character, hope.

We choose to suffer physically when we get out of bed and join our brothers at F3.  We persevere through the workout in hopes that it will build character.  But we all know that being around other men of character is how ours gets built up.  Through all this we hope that we please God with our thoughts and actions, and that being a part of F3 strengthens us to live up to God’s expectations for us.  We all know others that are suffering through illnesses and situations that they did not choose.  Let’s all remember to pray for those people out there that need the perseverance, character, and hope to get through their challenges, whatever they might be.
