Prayers for God’s People:

• Please continue to pray for complete healing for Bernie Beukelman, Verlin VanderWal, Gord Feenstra and Tom Gerlach.

• Please continue to pray for our church family members and their family members fighting cancer: Chad Wentland, Beth Eisenbraun (daughter of Verlin & Helen Vander Wal), and Marla Kiser (Ann Scholten’s daughter).

• Please pray for families in our church as they care for loved ones in need on a daily basis, as well as for the health of our church family members, especially those most vulnerable in the nursing home and Leisure Living.

• This week, take time to prayer specifically for the Holy Spirit’s work in our Community Youth Group leaders and kids as they meet a couple times a month and specifically as they plan and lead next Sunday’s service.

 

Happy Birthday to Goldie Van Roekel (Oct. 11), Joyce Brink (Oct. 14), Allan VanRoekel (Oct. 15), Sharon Van Marel, Bob VanderPol and Elroy Zomer (Oct. 16). Happy Anniversary to Pastor Scott & Jodie Nichols and Wade & Lindsey Groeneweg (Oct. 10). Have a great day!

We express loving Christian sympathy to the family and friends of Grace Groen, who passed away this past Thursday morning at the age of 101. We praise God for Grace’s many years of a faithful legacy.

Thank you for the many prayers offered for our daughter, Jessica Schaeffer, during her journey with cancer.  Many thanks for all the cards, texts, food brought in, gifts of money, purchasing T-shirts for the fundraiser, cleaning her house, and for the Gideon Bibles given in her honor.  Romans 14:8 If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. What hope and comfort that gives us all. In Christ's Love, Bernie and Genevieve Schelling and family
