As the world watches the
situation in the Ukraine, let us pray for the peoples of that country. Facebook is full of many calls to pray for
the Christians in Ukraine and for the country, in general. This is a time we need to pray for the Lord
to rule and bring peace in the lives of the leaders and the people. We need to pray for our nation and leaders as
we strategically choose the right response to Russia. The world seems to be a very small place in
the midst of conflict and war. You may
ask, “What can we do to make a
difference?” We can pray.
Thank you to all who came
out Saturday and helped in the church work day.
We had several areas cleaned up and cleaned out. It is always amazing how much things
accumulate in the closets and storage areas.
There are several additional areas that need attention if you have time
to volunteer. See Paul or Bro. Tim to
help.
