There is lots going on this coming weekend. Hope you join us for one or all of these events!

Joys and Concerns

There was a long list of prayer requests in church this past Sunday. Pastor Holbrook asked us to prayer for our church leaders as they attend a Consistory Retreat this coming Saturday. Please also remember those in our congregation struggling with health issues: Gerry Enger, Jackie Hoffman, Mario Paolilli, Sue Mitchell, Sasha Steenson, Bill Weeks. Sandy Bredthauer asks for prayers for her father, Don Rizzo, who was just diagnosed with a brain tumor; and Dennis St. George asks for prayers for his mom, June Hyden, who recently lost her home when it was hit by lightening. We pray for traveling mercies for our two mission trips – one to Mississippi and one to the Dominican Republic. Also continue to pray for those in our Sunday bulletin’s prayer corner. Read more »
