Opportunity to PRAY for one another– We would like to form a team of individuals or couples interested in being available at the end of our Sunday morning gatherings to pray for anyone who might need it. You would be serving on a rotation and would make yourself available at the end of your assigned Sunday, to pray for anyone that might desire that. Please see Karen Rutt or Katie Aungst if you have willingness to serve in this capacity or if you have any questions. Once we form a team, we might have a brief meeting to discuss some more simple details.

GLOBAL OUTREACH PARTNERS
Rod & Mayra Fry, Mexico Please pray for the Frys as the first group of short-term missionaries will arrive in February- with many activities/outreach events being planned. Pray for Rod as he preaches each Sunday – “both a challenge and a privilege” – as he juggles so many responsibilities – some being the summer groups that come and their focus on the Youth Group and Young Adults. They are looking forward to the group coming from WOLC on June 13-20. Please be praying for this group as they prepare to go and as Mexico prepares to receive them. They are also experiencing van issues – please pray for wisdom and repairs that are needed. They also ask prayer for the process of some frustrating administrative paperwork to be resolved soon!
