A grand old church in Paris, France, caught fire. The roof and steeple crashed down. People work to rebuild.

The Corbat family helps. It has a sawmill. Workers cut oak trees for roof boards. Each one must be long and straight.

Pray: Ask someone you do not know well at church how you can pray for him or her this week. Then pray!
