Our Church Family

Prayers for God’s People:

• We extend our Christian sympathy to the family and friends of Irene Bosma, who passed away last Sunday evening. May God give comfort and peace.
• We rejoice with Mitch and Melissa VanderPol, who welcomed a healthy baby daughter, Rosalei Ellen VanderPol on Wednesday morning. May God continue to bless this growing family.
• We continue to pray for God’s healing for Marla, Ann Scholten’s daughter; Brenda Hector, Toni Sletten’s daughter; and others who are battling with cancer.

 

Happy Birthday to Alice Zwart (March 27), Christie De Graff & Shauna Vander Pol (March 28). Wishing all a great day!

Special thanks to the women who stepped-up to help Group 5 with the Doris Hall and Irene Bosma funeral lunches. The extra helping hands and cakes were appreciated with two such close events.  ~~ Women of Grace
