Prayers Lifted on Sunday, May 26th, 2024

For Joan Y, who fell this week and is now home from the hospital.
For Tom, as he grieves the death of his sister Jean.
For those living in Gaza, serving in Gaza, working for peace in and for Gaza.
For those impacted by the tornados this week.
For those who are in need of healing.
For those who grieve losses of loved ones who died serving their country.
For those who served and sacrificed - we remember this Memorial Day weekend - Hal

Adult Discussion Group

Those nit-picky Pharisees are at it again. This time, they’re angry with Jesus because he’s allowing the disciples to ‘harvest’ grain on the Sabbath, and then they plot to capture him for healing a man’s hand on the Sabbath! Horrors!

Come join us after worship on Sunday at 11:15 AM in the Asbury Room.

We have questions too!
