SYNOD, DISTRICT & PARTNERSHIP NEWS
Prayers for Robin Wildauer who was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. The family has returned to Indiana for her treatment. Missionary Pastor Micah Wilauer visited St. John’s and told of his work in Belize during our VBS a number of years ago. We sponsored him at that time.
Pledge to Pray for Our Troops - On the back table are cards for you to pick up and pray each day Psalm 91 for all Our troops and Our Nation. This is a chance to pray with other Christians as we Band together to remember those who are serving.
