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
Barb Shearer, Camp Victory, Alabama Thanking you for your prayers for wisdom and physical strength as they completed their summer camp ministry and moved right into the busy fall – with lots of guest groups using the camp, projects at camp(mini golf course makeover, building a cabin & laundry for summer staff and renovation of Victory Apartment) as well as home projects – having her bathroom redone because of a shower leak causing floor damage! (a walk-in shower was installed!) Continue to pray for Barb as she is involved with the Mailbox lesson – over 600 students working on lessons!
WE ARE THRILLED THAT BARB IS WITH US TODAY!
