Detailed Summary of Class 03/11/2026
Condensed Summary
Pastor Marcia opened the Zoom meeting with surprise at technical hiccups and immediately led a corporate prayer for Michael, who was hospitalized after toxic mold exposure at work. The group invoked Scriptures about agreement in prayer and declared healing over his lungs. Afterward, Pastor Marcia reviewed “Proverb of the Day” submissions from participants (Proverbs 11:3, 11:2, 11:24–25, 11:14) and transitioned into the evening’s focus on gratitude practices. Several students shared which of the ten suggested gratitude exercises they’d tried—journal entries, pausing for “enough,” reflection, fasting social media, and giving thanks in prayer—while others described personal experiences (e.g., calming bike ride, journal app notes, celebrating a new grandson). The session concluded with reminders about next week’s spring break schedule, the next morning’s live program, and prayers for safe travel for Apostle and the team.
