Prayer List Updates
As has been mentioned, to keep our prayer list current, we have removed names added prior to December 2025. For names that you would like to add, please contact the church office. While we are prepared to pray indefinitely, we ask that you please update the church office monthly if you have added a name, in order to keep the prayer list up to date. We will remove the name if we do not hear from you. We appreciate your understanding.
