PRAYER/HEALING MINISTRY Do you like to pray with and for people? The Prayer/Healing Ministry can use additional volunteers for each of the three services. Rotational assignments and training. A real opportunity to be a blessing to other people. For more information, call John Miers.
If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together. Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it. (1 Corinthians 12:26-27) There are many times when some of our people could use a little help from some others in our congregation (remember the "Blizzard of 2009"?) We are beginning to compile a list of people who can help in shoveling snow, raking leaves, digging and gardening, odds and ends assistance, and other unexpected needs. Meals, too, and visits to a doctor, as well. If you can be on this list, please contact John Miers with just what you can do. Thank you!
