IN OUR DAILY PRAYERS this week we continue to pray for our members with cancer: Myrna Huber as she begins treatment, Herbert Huber as he recovers at home, Wayne Pfeiffer as he continues treatment and Doris Albrecht as she prepares to return for more treatment this week. We also hold up to God in prayer our shut-in members, our inactive members and those in our congregation who are in crisis and are asking for our prayers as well as at least two people in our lives who don’t know Christ. In addition, please pray for God’s will to be done and for wisdom to be given to the voters’ assembly of St. John Lutheran Church in Chester when they meet on October 9th to vote on whether or not to permanently close the church.
