Please have these to the church by Sunday, December 7th! ~Katie

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.
