Call to Prayer
Praise God we were again able to partner with our community
in
our monthly Food Pantry ministry blessing 141 families with
sup-
plies, prayer, fellowship and friendship. Pray our
representation of
God’s generosity to us would bear good fruit.
Praise God we were able to welcome the Lusengya family
Wednesday. Pray their adjustments would go well. Praise God
we
can live in obedience to God’s word to welcome the foreigner
and
stranger releasing God’s blessing upon our land.
Bob Ebert and Connor Kauffman are each grateful for the
prayers
of the church family as they lost loved ones, Bob his last
living un-
cle and Connor his grandmother. Praise God for life well lived,
and
the honor we each have to leave our children a godly legacy.
Praise God for the excellent resourcing we have received during
our
Sun. School elective through Dick Thomas. Pray God would en-
hance our ability to honor our Lord in leading in restorative
justice.
Our weekly offering supports mission giving $500 to
Mennonite
Disaster Service (MDS) as our state side first responders to
disas-
ter. Praise God we can serve and support as hands and feet of
Jesus.
