Team Members Verses:

Sally: Philippians 4:6-7 - “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

Britt: Colossians 3:23 - “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men”
