IN OUR DAILY PRAYERS IN OUR DAILY PRAYERS this week we pray for Herb Huber as he transitions from Oakview Nursing Home to the Tieszen Memorial Wellness Center in Marion and that he recover from another bout of pneumonia, for Adam Van Ningen and his family on the death of Adam’s father last week, for our numerous other shut-in members, for our many members undergoing cancer treatments and surgery recovery, our many inactive members and for at least two people who are outside of the church and do not yet know Christ.
LADIES AID had a very successful Christmas Project this year which was to provide financial support for the Main Street Living television programming broadcasts. Donations received were $490; however, since this was a 2-for-1 matching fund project, a check for $980 was sent to MSL. Thank you very much to all who helped make the project a success!
