In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.

Prayer Concerns

Good News! – Leslie McKenzie is home! He is limited to a wheelchair and only has four fingers to help him move around, but he and his family are very pleased he is back at home. He will be in the wheelchair for a minimum of six weeks. Pray for him each day, because he will be fighting wanting to be up each day. Also, pray for his body to heal well in all the places where he had an injury.

Jesse Dean is in North Oaks with a kidney problem. Pray for the doctors as they try to figure out the problem and determine what treatment he needs.

Youth and Children in Summer Camps

Almost all churches are sending their youth and children to camps this summer. Pray for powerful experiences that will impact their lives. Pray for safety as they travel and also during the days of camp. Pray for the chaperones who have given their time to be a part of this camp experience for the youth and children.

Choose a way to reach out to others. God will provide opportunities. Use your time and talents to minister to them.
