In Our Prayers
Greg Hawkins, who will be having a procedure on Monday, April 28th, asks for the congregation's prayers for a good result and quick recovery.
Lori Godwin asks for prayers:
-
for Becky, the niece of her friend Donna Friedel. Becky is having surgery for colon cancer;
-
for Becky's father Stephen, who is scheduled for surgery to relieve his Parkinsons;
-
for the children of John Stockler, who recently lost their father to a battle with multiple myeloma; and
-
for Harry, the son of her friend Jane, who is back in the hospital.
The congregation offers its prayers for peace and strength for Adriana Forney.
The prayers for Rev. Bynum's friend John Horn are working! His tumor is responding to chemo. We pray for continued success in his battle with esophageal cancer.

A New Easter Tradition!
Our first LAC Easter cross was erected and adorned this past Sunday. Through this shared offering of love and hope, we were able to see, before our eyes, a bare symbol of grief and death be transformed into a beautiful arrangement of beauty, resurrection, and hope. Which, after all, is what Easter is all about.
It was truly a spectacle to behold as our LAC community came together to share in this new Easter tradition.
