Welcome to Worship We are happy to have you with us and wish you a warm welcome. If you would like more information about our church and its ministries, please look for a member of the Welcoming Team by the TV after the service for information and a gift.

Welcome to Worship Attention families: Located just outside of the Sanctuary doors you will find activity bags and clip boards for kids to explore and use. Please feel free to take one to your seat and return it to the same location when you are finished.

Flowers Last week’s flowers were given in celebration of Isabella’s 8th birthday, by Gary and Nadine Carlson. Today’s flowers are given in memory of Bruce Crawford, by Jean Crawford.

Prayer for Soldiers Lord, We come to you proclaiming that you are all powerful and all loving. You are our tower of strength. You are our ever - present help in times of trouble. We come to you with thankful hearts for all the blessings you have given our country. Our hearts are also filled with thankfulness to those who serve our country in the armed forces. Their love for our country and for our people is inspiring. Father, we are reminded that our soldiers fight many personal battles, and we ask that today you would intervene in their lives and help each one individually. Lord, we know that there are times when each one suffers from loneliness, homesickness, exhaustion, sadness, fear, extreme weather conditions, personal physical conditions, and a myriad of other difficulties. We ask that every need would be ministered to this day. We ask that you would come to each one and ease their personal challenges and give each one renewed hope and cheer. We ask that you would refresh each one this day in every way.    Amen Copyright © 2013 Beth McLendon of Inspirational-Prayers.com
