Reformation Day Service: You are invited to this year’s area-wide service to be held at Dakota Christian School on Sunday, October 29 at 7:00 p.m. This year will be a special time of worship and celebration on the 500th year anniversary of the Reformation.

Our Church Family

Prayers for God’s People:

• Joyce Brink was able to return to Corsica, and is in swing-bed at PVNH as she continues to regain strength and mobility.
• The De Graffs received results that indicate a severe case of spina bifida for their baby, and the continued progression of physical abnormalities.
• Please continue to remember those undergoing treatments, with physical problems, shut-ins, those in Leisure Living and PVNH, and our missionaries.

 

Happy Birthday to Helen Vander Wal (Oct. 26), Bernie Beukelman (Oct. 27), Ruby Bult and Juna Noteboom (Oct. 28); Happy Anniversary to Gene & Birdie Schoon (Oct. 25), and Larry & Barbara Noteboom (Oct. 28). Have a great day!

Pastor Appreciation Month: Regardless of the month, we are so thankful for the ministry of Pastor Dan and Christie in our church family and community. But October has been officially designated as Pastor Appreciation Month, so it’s the perfect time to share a personal thank you with the DeGraffs—and maybe other pastors who have had an impact on you and your family’s life.
