Also new this year we will have “Upward Host”. This will be someone/or couple that will get to know the families of a team/squad. The coaches build relationships with the cheerleaders and ball players. This will give you an opportunity to build a relationship with the family, just by being a friend and encourager. If you would like to be a friend/encourager to team or cheer squad please sign up in the foyer of the fellowship hall. For more information see Jeff Harris.
*Prayer Leaders – If you have not turned in your prayer cards to Sue Campbell please do so soon!
Please continue to pray for our Upward Ministry!
Please Remember In Prayer! The theme of this year’s Week of Prayer for International Missions is “His Heart, His Hands, His Voice” Please pray for our missionaries that God will give boldness and protection to them as they share their faith. There are prayer guides available with the bulletins. Please take one and pray for these missionaries. On Day 8 it highlights Eric & Ramona Reece that are missionaries in Rio De Janeiro Ramona says “Life happens, life hurts, but the fact that Jesus died for my sins and rose again so that I could be with God and have a relationship with him – there is no sacrifice that compares to that!”
That should humble all of us to go and share God’s love with others!
