PLEASE CONTINUE to keep Lisa Bosman in your prayers as she heals from successful surgery on her leg this past Monday and copes with pain.

WE EXTEND our Christian sympathy to Ruth Tiersma in the passing of her brother, John Brower, of the Netherlands.

A PRAYING PEOPLE: Last week we began a short sermon series on the Lord’s Prayer. Prayer is one the central parts of our response of faith and yet most overlooked, misunderstood and forgotten. Using the Heidelberg Catechism we are going to walk through the Lord's prayer line-by-line. My hope is that in this series all our prayer lives should grow in depth, purpose and we will deepen our walk as followers of Jesus.

THE LADIES Thursday evening Bible study will start up again this week at 7 pm in the fireside room. If you have thought about attending, you are welcome to join us! Each time we discuss Pastor Bryan’s sermon study questions from the previous two Sundays.
