“Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name” Matthew 6:9.
Lord, you designed this day for Your glory and our good. We ask for wisdom and the power to obey. Our business lives are the best opportunity to show the world Your infinite power. Lord, our work is in your hands. Be glorified through it.
“May Your kingdom come. May Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven” Matthew 6:10.
Lord, the workplace can be a dog-eat-dog place. Give us hearts that are wise and compassionate to lead as Jesus did. In a world that is fraught with shortages and broken promises, help us work as teams to bring improving processes and creative solutions.
Lord, our world seems to hold grudges and judge harshly. Help us to see the value of each person made in the image of God. Thank you for the promise to be with us always. Bring Your presence to mind as the Day of Prayer approaches. Give us hearts that pray. Thank you for the opportunity to bring our requests to you during these troubling times. May our prayers be pleasing unto you and may we live in such a way as to hear you someday say, “Well done my good and faithful servant.” Amen.

This breakfast is free, informative and provides a fun yet meaningful setting to get to know others in the Loudoun County Community. Networking is a mild part of the morning and not the focus. The focus is to connect with the personal stories of men and women who live, work, and play in the Loudoun County Community.
Paul began his banking career in 1984 with Central Fidelity Bank, he also married Shari his wife in the same year. Paul grew up in Lynchburg Virginia, attended Virginia Tech and graduated in 1982.

In 2008 Paul was a part of the formation of John Marshall Bank as the Regional President for Loudoun County.
Paul is an active member of the community: as a current member of the Loudoun County Chamber of Commerce where he served as past Chairman of the Board in 2008, past Vice Chairman of the Loudoun County Economic Development Authority, Chairman of the Board of Trustees for StoneSprings Hospital Center, past Board of Trustees for Reston Hospital and Past President of The Friends of the Thomas Balch Library.
Please join us this Tuesday, March 19, from 6:45-8:00 AM in the community room at the Einstein Bagel at 531 Firstfield Road and Quince Orchard Blvd in Gaithersburg to hear Chapin Isler’s perspective on ministry to men in our county prisons.
Remember those in prison as though you were in prison with them, and those ill-treated as though you too felt their torment.
Hebrews 13:3
About Our Guest Speaker: Russell Isler has been a minister with Good News Jail & Prison Ministry for close to 30 years and most of that time has been spent helping inmates in jails in Montgomery County. Originally from Western New York, he started volunteering, as a teen, at a local prison after someone needed help with a religion class there. He’s been ministering at both the Montgomery County Correctional Facility in Boyds, near Clarksburg, which has a capacity of 1,028, and the county’s Detention Center on Seven Locks Road in Rockville, with a capacity of 200. Chaplin Isler also serves as a full-time pastor at Montgomery Baptist Church.
In 2016, Chaplin Isler was awarded the highest honor that the Good News Jail and Prison Ministry organization hands out, the Bill Simmer Award. Named after the founder of Good News Jail and Prison Ministry, it is given to a minister who stays the course and leads an effective career. In his career, Chaplin Isler has seen many types of people, has heard many stories, and has witnessed many miracles. Many of the young men he works with lack a strong family structure, but time in prison gave them access to the gospel, making it possible through Chaplin Isler’s encouragement, to turn their lives around.
Good News Jail & Prison Ministry is the largest independent supplier of chaplains for jails and prisons worldwide, serving in 22 states, 1 American territory and 25 countries. Good News chaplains also reach out to meet the spiritual needs of the correctional staff in the facilities in which they serve, and works closely with volunteers who give of their time to minister inside the jails and prisons . Good News accepts no local, state or federal funds and is supported by churches and individuals interested in partnering in the work of the Gospel. A Good News chaplain’s work includes preaching, counseling, teaching, administering the Bible Correspondence Course and training. For more info, see: https://goodnewsjail.org/
