Beth Dancer sent me this to share. I just love it. Please be praying for our coaches this week. Please be praying for our players this week. 

⭐️ That he would grow in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.

⭐️ Protection over his body. I prayed specially over body parts and over his pads, that they would do their job in protecting him.

⭐️That he would grow in his understanding of the game, and excel in every area.

⭐️That he would have an eternal impact on his coaches and his teammates with his words and actions.

⭐️That he would be on purpose to pour into his teammates. I pray he would be an encourager and a leader in every area.

⭐️That he would surprise people with his heart, stamina, and work ethic.

⭐️That he would make memories and learn lessons this seasons that he would carry with him forever.

⭐️That every single player would be safe and become better men because of this season.

⭐️Protection from all fear and that they would be allowed to play their entire season.

⭐️Healthy players

⭐️Wisdom for the coaches and encouragement for them. Pray protection over their families, days of rest and joy in the Lord.

⭐️That angels would encamp about him and the team, guarding and guiding them in all of their ways.

⭐️That he would have the strength of Sampson, the wisdom of Solomon, and the courage of David.

 

May we turn our fears and worries into prayers , and fill our kids lives with the power of prayer.

New Info

You Guys it is the night before school starts!

I have been trying to gather you more information today and here is what I have for you:

1- The players can put their bag of equipment in the locker room in the morning. They will need to plan ahead to be there early to do so. They will have to come through the main doors and then drop off their bag in the locker room. Each day after practice they will have to bring this bag home with them. At this time they cannot leave anything in the locker rooms overnight. They will be sanitizing the locker rooms every day. They should know this. Please remind them.

2- They need to bring a water canister to use during practice. There will be large water containers to refill their canisters.

3- Physicals. They have to be turned in to practice this week. Please contact ktaylor@metroca.com if you have any questions.

4- OSSAA Electronic Forms will need to be filled out by Wednesday, August 19. Please visit the rank one website and click on the OSSAA link to log in and fill out your form.

I am praying for your boys! Let us pray together for our coaches and teachers as they navigate this new season at Metro. God is so faithful. I know that He is working all this together for his good.
