October 9 Weekly News


WE COME IN PRAYER: Heavenly Father, we gather this day in thanksgiving for the many gifts You have given us out of Your fatherly, divine goodness and mercy.  Increase our faith, that our thankfulness may also increase.  In Jesus’ name we pray.  Amen.

 

TODAY’S ALTAR FLOWERS have been given by Zachary & Kaleigh Morey to the glory of God in celebration of their marriage here last evening.  May God grant them many happy years together!
