Full Gospel Christian Church Newsletter

Good morning, Church members!

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.

Humor corner:

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