Monday Addition

Pray for the Anthony’s this week.  They have three appointments for wound care and one with the regular doctor.  Four trips to Hammond are hard for anyone, especially someone who is sick.  Pray for this family regularly.

Five of five homebound families asked have agreed this morning to allowing some of the church family visit early next Sunday afternoon.  Pray for those whose homes we will visit and for the ones who visit to be loving and encouraging.

We have had some great Sunday night fellowship/worship times this summer.  If you missed them, you missed out, but it is never too late to get involved.  Thanks to all who cooked, sang, talked, or just visited within the groups at the tables.

Sunday

The heavens declare the glory of God;

and the firmament shows His handiwork.  

Day unto day utters speech,

and night unto night reveals knowledge.  

There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard.”

~Psalm 19:1-3~

2). Pray for Marilyn and I as we will be leading the “Bridges To Healing” Christ Centered Solutions For Combat Trauma starting Sept. 5th. Also pray for the small group Bible study “Courageous Honor Begins At Home” that will begin. Sept. 5th.

Friday

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations,

baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”
