Dear Church Family,
We would like to express our joy and gratitude for your partnership with us for the sake of the gospel. As singles and beginning our marriage within this church, we have continually been showered with graciousness, generosity, and care from many of you. We humbly thank you for deepening your commitment to us and to God's servants overseas by supporting our ministry of caring for missionary kids. We hope to launch this autumn, if our Lord permits, and to refresh your hearts with much testimony of God's amazing work in the years to come. We welcome any questions, encouragements, and prayers..
From our hearts with joy, Josh & Katya

Prayer (based on Anglican Book of Common Prayer, “In Time of Great Sickness and Mortality”) O most mighty and merciful God, in this time of grievous sickness, we run to you for comfort. Deliver us, we ask, from our peril; give strength and skill to all those who minister to the sick; make prosper the means used to bring about cure; and grant that, realizing how frail and uncertain our life is, all may turn toward, and trust in, Jesus Christ, our Lord for peace and eternal life. Amen.
Please Pray for:
Charles Mosley, Robert Metzler, Larry Bennett, Becky Birdsong, Ralph Diamond, Joanne Stephens, Dotty Rawlins, Jeanneen Jewell, William McCluskey, Jean Pollock, Rebecca Williams, Jan Kelly, Barbara Steinbach, Aaron Leath

As summer approaches, we find a need for more nursery volunteers. Our sweet LeTourneau student, Amelia, will be headed home for the summer and we need to fill her spot each week. Many of us travel throughout the spring and summer, but would you please consider finding a few dates that you could commit to serving our littlest congregants? Thank you for your service!
