Prayer and Fellowship

In a recent sermon, our pastor shared about the church being 'a place of community.'  A place where we gather with one purpose and one desire - for the Lord.  To worship and serve Him.  A place where His love flows among us.  Where His grace enables us to overcome our differences and cling to our bonds of love for the Lord and extend His grace to one another.  A place where we rejoice together in good times and weep together in tough times - always looking to our Heavenly Father with thanksgiving and for His help.

This weekend we have fantastic opportunities to put into motion this community.  First, some prayer needs to lift up as we pray for, love and support one another:

• Roy L. is home from the hospital recovering
• Mary Lou R. is battling some health problems this week
• Kay B. is undergoing cancer treatments and needs our prayers
• Rem F. is recovering from shoulder surgery and needs God's healing and strength
• Janet W.'s mother will undergo shoulder surgery today amidst her other health problems -  needs our prayers along with her family
• The Harry S. family as they begin life without their loved one
• Caroline as she continues to minister to her parents

May you keep these close in your heart and prayers.

Then....we have opportunity to fellowship and rejoice with one another.

Saturday morning will be a Women's Fellowship.  What a beautiful time for women to gather together to share, to be encouraged and to lift one another up.  The meeting will be at Kathy B.'s home beginning at 9:30 AM.

 

Sunday morning there will be a Family Breakfast to celebrate Father's Day.  A full breakfast will be served at 8:30 AM in the church fellowship hall.  What a way to share dad's special day as a family and with the church family. 

Saturday - June 25 will be the wedding of Tiffany and Clay. Although the wedding will be in Alachua, you are encouraged to come and show your support, love and blessings to the couple and their family.  Directions to the church in Alachua are at the front of our church (by the pulpit).  What an opportunity to celebrate God's love!

May you be encouraged to take part in the activities this weekend as we celebrate God's faithfulness and goodness together.
