Prayer Focus
Pray for all the students who are out of school this week. Pray they have a good week and can accomplish some positive things while being safe from any harm. Pray the adults in each situation use good judgment in caring for their children and/or those left in their care.
Surgeries
Wendell Simmons will be having back surgery this morning. Your prayers will be greatly appreciated.
A friend of ours will continue to have medical tests this week leading up to probable surgery. Your prayers for Sandy will also be greatly appreciated.
Death
Mary Alice Fox sent a message that Frank Fox passed away yesterday. She will let me know more when details for his service are arranged.
Missions – OCC
I was asked yesterday about some needs for OCC. At this point, we need more marbles, flashlights, and washcloths from our March list. Our April list includes: red pens, measuring tapes for sewing, cars, calculators, and small dolls. Each item you purchase helps us to be one item closer to packing a shoebox. We will be packing 450 shoeboxes this year. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Some of you have signed up to volunteer to help us work. If you have not signed up and wish to do so please let me know. We will get back to cutting fabric this month. I will let you know once I get the date cleared for the church calendar.
Missions – Annie Armstrong Offering
It is not too late to donate to the Annie Armstrong offering which will be used for mission work on the islands of the Gulf and Atlantic, Canada, and the USA. There are still many who are lost all around us.
Thank-you so much for your encouragement. Please keep encouraging those around you. You make a big difference as you encourage and pray.
