Midweek Highlights!

Here are some highlights for the middle of the week. Just a heads up: there are a ton of prayer requests and praises at the end of the email. If you are too busy to bring them before God now, save the email and pray about them at a better time. Thanks!

1. Moving! - Dave and Leslie Zimmerman are moving to their own home tomorrow! If you are available to move some boxes, meet at 2258 Henry St at 2PM tomorrow, Thursday. It is directly across the street from the Tradewinds car lot (SE corner of Henry and Hackley). Park in the back of the white house next to the car fix-it place. Call Dave at 231-720-9917 for more info.

2. Offering Collectors - We are putting together a schedule of students and adults that would collect the offering each Sunday. The big idea is to help students see Celebration as their church and to help adults see their role in the lives of our children. Contact Matt or Kathy Meyer if you would like to be involved. 


3. Sunday we will talk about what happens when we pray. We will use Acts 12 as our framework. We also look forward to Thursday, May 2, the National Day of Prayer and the start of our 40 Days of Prayer and Fasting. Sign up for your one hour timeslot at church. We have so much to pray about! Thankfully we have a great God who hears and answers our prayers!

• Pray for Joyce DuRose (Steve’s mom). She is having health problems. 
• Pray for Classis that meets at church Thursday, tomorrow.
• Pray for Derrick and Sabrina Busch, nephew of Tim and Nancy Bosma. Sabrina had a procedure to help her carry a baby to term but has just suffered another loss of a child. 
• Pray for Makenna Hentschel she is doing well and is home but there are some concerns with the infection on the incision line.
• Pray for Josh Commans (boyfriend of Kadence Ribbens) he is very ill and is entering into finals exam week.
• Prayer of praise!! Justin Schut’s wife Samantha was able to find a job while Justin finishes school.
• Pray for Jesslyn Thebo and Max Nicoles as they were in a car accident that totaled Jesslyn’s car. They are sore but okay. 
• Pray for Cheryl Ferguson as she travels to visit Jenna.
• Pray mighty prayers of mercy and blessing over our country, our community and our church.
• Pray for the leadership at Celebration as they make decision to move forward. Pray for God’s mighty hand to guide them and that they seek his will.
• Pray for the release of two churchmen and for a cessation of violence and persecution in Syria. Bishop Yohanna Ibrahim of the Syrian Orthodox Archdiocese of Aleppo was kidnapped on Tuesday, April 23, on his way back to Aleppo from the Turkish border. He went there to bring back Bishop Boulos Yazaji of the Greek Orthodox of Aleppo. The news received is that an armed group stopped the car and kidnapped the two bishops and killed the driver. Bishops Ibrahim and Yazaji are well known as agents of peace and justice, not only for Christians in Syria but for all the Syrian people.
