BC Cabinet Shuffle

Premier Gordon Campbell announced a Cabinet Shuffle at 11 AM today.  The results are as follows.  We encourage your prayers for these members who have been put in positions of responsibility and trust. 

Heavenly Father, You give us leaders to watch over the affairs of our province.  We thank you for them and ask that You would empower and strengthen the Members of our Legislature today who are assuming new responsibilities.  Bless them and help them as they learn about their new roles.  Give them grace and strength as they carry out their mandate. 

In Jesus Name, Amen.
