Please join your church in praying for the following requests for the life and mission of the church:
+ Please pray for folks in our congregation who are dealing with cancer, that the Lord will provide healing, encouragement and strength. Especially Howard Beasley, Sue Barclay and Rob Ruck, and others who requested confidentiality.
+ Pray for our children, that they will grow in love for God, grow to know God's word and learn the humility to follow him and his ways.
+ Pray for our president, our congress, our judges, and our state lawmakers who are beginning new terms of office, that their actions, decisions and policies would align with the truth that all people are created in the image of God.

THE FEAR FACTOR: HOW FEAR CONFINES OUR FAITH
He said to his disciples, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?" ~ Mark 4:40
Fear. Most of us don't sit around thinking about what we are fearful of and why. But what if our fears actually prevent us from experiencing deep, abiding faith? Join us for this sacred time away as we discover how to think "outside the box" fear creates and begin to live fully by faith.
