like us to pray for you on Sunday mornings or lift
you up through our prayer chain? Are you entering
the hospital? Contact Marcy at 596-0661 or fill out
the information on the pew card. Note that prayers
on pew cards are lifted up by the staff every week.
Prayer shawls, quilts, and squares are available at
the Ministry Center and in the church office. For a
tangible reminder of God’s power through prayer,
please record your name and to whom the shawl
is given so that we may pray for them.
