Prayers and Praise of the Congregation
To know Jesus, to be like Him,
to make Him known.
We praise God for Ken Denlinger’s excellent week. He has more energy and
had a good report on his latest test!
8:30….Coffee & Fellowship
9:00….Sunday School
10:00….Worship Service
We continue to lift in prayer Mary and Paul Lefever and Violet Buckwalter
during this season of their lives. Both Mary and Violet are experiencing
increased weakness and diminished health.
We are thankful for the wonderful response to the Affinity Group registration
and look forward to how God will use these groups in the coming
year.
For those interested in following Barry and Jessica Weixler-Landis as they
minister in Burkina Faso, their blog can be found at:
