June 26 Weekly News


WE COME IN PRAYER:  Most Holy God, You have placed Your holy    message of salvation into us sinful and lowly creatures.  Draw us into Your presence and cleanse us of all our sins.  Continue to fill us with a clear vision of Your great glory, that we may be effective witnesses for Jesus Christ.  In His precious name we pray.  Amen.

 

CALL PROCESS UPDATE:  Names of pastoral candidates to consider for a call have been submitted by members of our congregation. These names have been forwarded to Pastor Nathan Janssen, our Circuit Visitor.
