IN OUR DAILY PRAYERS this week please remember those among us who are recovering from illness and surgery; those in on-going treatments; those who have doctor visits scheduled for this week and those who are awaiting test results. Please also keep in your prayers our home shut-ins and nursing home members, our inactive members and at least two people in your lives who don’t know Christ. In accordance with the theme and purpose of this All Saints Sunday, we request that you ask God to grant courage to His children who are undergoing opposition to their Christian faith. Our Lord’s faithful people have sacrificed much, including facing death, rather than deny their Savior. We pray that they would be strengthened to confess even more boldly the Gospel of Christ – that is, His forgiveness and salvation.
BAPTISM OF KENDALL BRODERS – We joyfully welcome Kendall Lynn Broders into our Christian family today through the Sacrament of Holy Baptism!
