CHURCH FAMILY
Please keep Al Hoekzema in your prayers as he has been diagnosed with covid- this is especially concerning because he has a chronic condition called pulmonary fibrosis which causes scarring of his lungs.
Thank you for all of the expressions of sympathy after my mother Phyllis Lehrke passed away. Your thoughts, prayers and cards were very much appreciated. Her funeral is scheduled for 10-4-21 in her home town of Crosby MN where she will be tucked in next to my Dad. -Karen & Bill Winegar
* Prayer Line * 453-2288 * Our prayer line is always available to take your prayer requests, or to listen to prayer updates. After the recorded message, you may leave your prayer needs for our intercessors, who will pray for you.
