🙏 Today is the National Day of Prayer. We turn to you, Lord.

𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐞: Glorify God among the nations - seeking him in all generations.

𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞: "Tell of His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all the peoples." 1 Chronicles 16:24 NASB

𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫:
Almighty God, King of Glory, we confess our sins and repent of our pride that sought our own glory and comfort, allowing evil to take root instead of Your fruit in our hearts, homes, culture, and country. Please forgive us.

Now, with this declaration of rededication, we humble ourselves, pray, and seek Your face, turning from our wicked ways, that You would heal our lives and our land. Please purify and renew our hearts with holy attributes, affections, attitudes, and actions — to love You with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength.

We give You glory as we repent and rededicate our lives and our nation to You. For 250 years You have guarded and guided America in wisdom, grace, mercy, and love. We praise and thank You for our Founding Fathers, for all who sought You in fervent prayer throughout history and answered Your call to defend justice and freedom; to protect and serve, preach and teach, innovate, communicate, learn, work, worship, and establish our laws.

May Your Kingdom come, and Your will be done in our lives, our Families, the Church, Education, Business, Military, Government, Arts, Entertainment and Media as it is in heaven.

We prayerfully commit to "Glorify God Among the Nations, Seeking Him in All Generations."

In Jesus' name, Amen!

Please join us in praying for Ricky and Kathy Flanigan and their family.

Walterine “Rene” Landry Tharp, age 88, of Newton, Texas, passed away on April 29, 2026. She was born on July 10, 1937, in Vinton, Louisiana, where she grew up before embarking on a life of love, adventure, and selfless service to others.

On December 4, 1957, Rene married the love of her life, Clyde Melvin Tharp Jr., and together they embraced the life of a military family. As a proud Air Force wife, she made a home wherever duty called — living across the United States and around the world. Through every move, she brought with her the warmth and constancy that defined her character.

Rene had a gift for making people feel welcome. Her door was always open to anyone who needed a place to stay, a home-cooked meal, or simply a kind word. She was known throughout her community for her enormous heart and her willingness to take in those in need. Whether she was in the kitchen, on the dance floor, or quietly caring for someone who needed her, Rene gave of herself completely and joyfully.

Rene cherished her family fiercely. Her grandchildren held a very special place in her heart, and her 14 great-grandchildren were among her greatest joys in her later years.

She is survived by her daughter, Chris Brooks, wife of the late Jerry Brooks, of Newton, TX; her son John Tharp and wife Jena of Odessa; her son Phillip Tharp and wife Candace of Kirbyville; her daughter Kathy Flanigan and husband Ricky of Newton; 10 grandchildren; and 14 great-grandchildren.

The family extends a heartfelt thank you to her dear friend and caregiver, Debra Tyson, for the loving care and companionship she provided.

Rene Tharp leaves behind a legacy of open doors, full tables, and a love that touched everyone who knew her. She will be deeply missed.
