Prayer Concerns

  • Praise God for the healing we have seen in Peggy Blosser as she recovers from a mild stroke, and for continued healing from a viral infection.
  • Remember those who are affected by the difficult economic times world-wide.
  • Please pray for our friends and family members dealing with cancer and its treatments.
  • Take time this week to pray for our community, asking how God might be moving within it and how we might be called to participate.


Psalm 19:9b-10, “The ordinances of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey, and drippings of the honeycomb.”
