IN OUR DAILY PRAYERS this week we pray for Keith Andersen’s sister, Teresa, who is undergoing chemotherapy and has pneumonia, for Leatrice Aman as she begins her cancer treatment program, for Marge Wollman who is recovering at home, for all others who are sick or under doctor’s care, those in mourning, our shut-in and inactive members, and at least two people in your life who do not know Christ.
BEFORE LEAVING the sanctuary, please find one person whom you don’t know or don’t know very well, introduce yourself and have a brief chat with them.
