Prayer Requests:
This week we are asked to pray for Phil and Jolene Skovron and children, Amber and William Smit, Karen Smith and Chris Pike, Don and Elaine Snapper, Aaron and Megan Speyer and children. Suggestions for prayers would be for their spiritual growth, opportunities to see Christ in their everyday life, and anything else that God puts on your mind for them.
Jodi Meir was diagnosed with colon cancer this past week and will be meeting with a specialist on Monday. Pray for peace and comfort for her as the doctors determine the next step in possible treatment.
