Last Sunday when the bells played, they left a silent bell on the table in honor of Sandy ; For grandchildren everywhere to know God’s Love; Morgan Cline for all children to have a great Halloween with their families; Susan Costa that Downtown Eugene will become safe and pleasant; Wendy Purdy for the youth of our country that they would feel God’s love and know they are held safely in his hands; for Samuel Walugembe may his health be restored so that he is his full exuberant self; for those going through treatment for cancer: Eric Rolston & Mick Gough … Gracious God, hear our prayers.
