Prayer Requests and Announcements [Monday, April 28, 2008]
John Fortner concluded his series on “Doubt and Faith”. We were all blessed by his insights. Where are you on your journey? Is God testing you? What is in your heart? Are you ready to trust completely in the Lord? He is truly all we need. You may want to read Psalms 77 and 78 again. He is faithful to provide.
Many came this morning to confess, share, encourage or challenge us. Thanks to Joshua, Zach, Tabitha, Mike, Jonathan, Natalie, Tim, Jed, Earl, Ray, Ryan, Jo, Christine, John, Emily, Meredith and Mitch for opening your hearts, sharing your insight, reading a scripture or encouraging us. This is what we come together for each week. Many were ministered to today. There are many among us who can help you no matter what you are going through. Continue to pray and seek council as needed.
