Dear Friends,

Parishioner, Michael Maher,  called today and asked for prayers for his daughter, Becky Maher who is having major surgery on Thursday, August 6, 2020 for a gastric by-pass.  This surgery is a 4-8 hour operation and in talking with Michael, he asked that we pray for a successful surgery and a quick healing time.  We might also pray for her patience in this whole process.

We wish her every blessing at this time.

Additionally, Michael will have to seclude himself for the next 5 days in preparation so that he can be with Becky in the hospital during this pandemic time.  We pray for them both–peace and love to all–Pastor Kathy

Friends, for those of you who haven’t yet heard–Brad Swanson, Eric Bartleson’s  son-in-law passed from this life on Tuesday evening. We know that he is now at complete peace with our loving God. Eric returned from his trip to Puerto Rico on Monday as Brad’s condition was changing. I know that all our prayers sent their way were of help in supporting Jennifer, his wife and Eric’s daughter and their family.  Do continue to remember them all in this transition.
