Summer Sprouts (Sunday School for Youth) & Office hours for Pastor Michelle
Remember ... our new Children & Youth Minister, Michelle Stephens, has prepared some fun worship lessons for the summer. Come on Sunday to enjoy learning about the Ten Commandments and much more. Pastor Michelle also wants everyone to know that she has office hours at the church every Tuesday from 1-3 p.m. Please drop by and say hi!
We are still looking for a Minister of Worship Arts. If you have anyone in mind, please contact Pastor Vickie at hadvl@comcast.net
Special Prayers for Kathy Pitts, one of our newest members, and her family. Kathy's brother, Don, who suffered with multiple sclerosis was found dead in his home. Please keep Kathy and her family in your prayers. Kathy returned to her home town in Ohio for the services. Her new address is: 5038 W. Patterson Avenue, Chicago, 60641.
Lowell Allen reports that his great granddaughter, Allison Grace (only 5 months old), came through her first surgery with flying colors. This very delicate spinal work was done from the back this time and another surgery is planned from the front of the spine in four weeks. After recovery from these two surgeries they will conduct a third to put a rod in the spine. Lowell said our prayers for the doctors, nurses, family and Allison are bearing much fruit.
Please keep all those who have suffered loss or illness, lack of work, heartbreak or other life challenges in your prayers. Also raise up your joys! If you are interested in being part of our Prayer Network, or would like to have them pray for a special person or cause, contact Tina or Wally Felckowski: bwf79@sbcglobal.net
