Summer Missions
School is just about out for the year. That means lots of college students will be spending their summers (some for a year) off of their regular campuses and traveling both in the states and abroad to proclaim the name of Jesus! Please pray for a couple of hundred from the Upper Midwest campuses as they travel, some working jobs where they are going to provide room and board, and for their interactions with all kinds of people who need to hear the gospel. The faith and expectancy of these students is extremely encouraging and visionary. Pray for God to draw many to himself who are waiting to enter the kingdom!
Food Bank Needs This Week
Current needs are listed each week....a way for you to Go & Share the love of Christ! Lists are also available at church for you to carry in your wallet. Please place your items in the box in the foyer or if needed, in the fridge or freezer in the kitchen labeled for food bank.
