WORSHIP

We are a community of faith responding to God’s

redeeming love through authentic worship, trans-

formed lives, and lifelong service.

OUR VISION

Park Prayers

Claire DeRoo suffered a broken leg following a skiing accident on

Tuesday and underwent surgery on Wednesday. Please pray for

healing and relief from pain for Claire.

Bea Koopman, mother of Kathy Slenk, passed away last week Fri-

day. The funeral service was held on Tuesday. Please remember

Tom and Kathy and their family in your prayers as they mourn their

loss.

Chuck Strabbing had a liver biopsy on Monday which came back

positive. He will begin chemotherapy on January 3. Please keep

Chuck and Ona in your prayers as they continue to fight this terrible

disease.

Please continue to keep Kryston, daughter of Terry and Khristie Dil-

livan, and her newborn son in your prayers. Give thanks that both

are doing well, considering the early delivery.

Give thanks that Kaye Vermeulen is feeling much better and experi-

encing less pain following a chemo treatment last week.

Pray for those who are traveling over the next few weeks to spend

time with family during the holidays. Pray for safety and good family

time.

This week the Park Church family will pray for the families of Joe and

Kaye Vermeulen, Donna Visser, Henry and Connie Walters, and

Justin and Leah Lechner, with YWAM.

Call our prayer line at 335-6177.

Park Church seeks to encourage worshippers to come into the

presence of the living God with wonder and awe, that we will

glorify Him, learn from Him, devote ourselves to Him,

and leave equipped to serve Him.
