Our Pastor and Sister Helen are away visiting their family in West Virginia. And Sister Betty is enjoying a vacation. We pray that all of them return safely home.
Reminder: We have a Prayer Station page with this blog. If you need prayers for yourself or someone else, please leave a comment. Or if you're not sure how to do it, send an email to Sister Lynda at sflynda@gmail.com I'll put it in for you. Just provide me the name of the person who needs prayers and a brief description of why they need prayers (health, surgery, grief, etc)
At this time, we're offering prayers for
Sister Devria, who will be undergoing surgery on Sept 14
Sister Lorena, health issues
Sister Annie, eye problems
Brother Ron, who lost his wife Joyce
Also pray for a safe journey for Sister Helen and Pastor Bishop who will be traveling to West Virginia this week. And for Sister Betty who is on vacation with her children.
Let's add our soldiers and our nation to our daily prayers. We also need to add the Ambassador to Libya and three other Americans to our prayers - they were killed on Sept 11 in an attack on the Libyan embassy.

The right word is very important as you will see in this:

                        Ladies
With 
                        typewriters. 
They're 
                        Back! 
Those 
                        wonderful Church Bulletins! Thank  
                        Goodness for church 
                        ladies with typewriters. These sentences (with all the 
                        BLOOPERS) actually appeared in church bulletins.

The

                        meals...

The 
                        sermon this morning: Jesus Walks on the 
                        Water. 
The 
                        sermon tonight: Searching for Jesus.

Ladies, 
                        don't forget the rummage sale. It's a chance to get rid 
                        of those things not worth keeping around the house. 
                        
Bring your 
                        husbands.

Remember 
                        in prayer the many who are sick of our community. Smile 
                        at someone who is hard to love. Say 'Hell' 
                        
to 
                        someone who doesn't care much about you... 
                        
-------------------------- 
                        
Don't 
                        let worry kill you off - let the Church 
                        help.

                        Charlene Mason sang 'I will not pass this way again,'
