Prayer Requests:
This week we are asked to pray for Ken Anderson, Elaine Barringer, Mabel Benedict, Tom and Caroline Boenig, Mike and Jennifer Boer and their sons, Del and Pat Bosman. 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.
We continue to lift up in prayer Connie Knutson and Tena Vanderpol and their spouses and family as they both pursue cancer treatments.
