During Joyce DuRose's memorial service yesterday, Psalm 121:1-2 came rushing back to me from the past. Every worship service in the church of my youth would begin with this Q&A: Question: "I lift up my eyes to the hills--where does my help come from?" Answer: "My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth." May this be our answer in the good and the bad times!
Here are some important items for this week:
1. Events -
- Youth Ministries, tonight, at 6:30PM at Calvin Church
- Vision Team/Council Meeting, Monday, October 13, 7PM.
- Bigger Better Boat Team, Tuesday, October 14, 7PM.
- Ironman Men's Group, Tuesday, October 14, 7PM.
- Annual Chili Cook-Off, Sunday, October 26. Sign up at the info booth to bring a red or white chili. I love this event!
2. Sunday - So do you ever wonder what will happen if you set up guardrails in life and actually follow them? Invite a friend as we conclude our "Guardrails" series this Sunday. (Daniel 1)
3. Prayers - Please take time to pray for:
- The DuRose family at the loss of Steve's mom, Joyce on Sunday.
- Harold West's resident was in a coma from falling in the kitchen, having seizures, and not being found for 3 hours. She is up and walking around! Everything is not back to the way it was before the incident but God clearly has more work for her to do!
- Judy Irish's Mom who underwent surgery recently on her hip. There will be much therapy to follow.
- Pray for all of the many guests at church recently. Pray that they will find a church to call home and be involved, whether it be Celebration or someplace else.
- God bless Christians around the world being persecuted for living for Jesus.
- Paula Blohm's dad, who lives in San Antonio, Texas and is 90 years old, was admitted to the hospital yesterday. He had a heart attack and also has pneumonia. He is in intensive care.
- Single moms who are just starting out on this difficult road ahead.
- Those looking for employment.
- Amy Hall asked for prayers for a business partner/friend's father who suffered 2 heartaches last week and is now facing open heart surgery.
- Duane and Paula Blohm ask for prayers for their friends: the dad is fighting substance abuse, the kids are in counseling, and the mom has filed for divorce.
