CONTINUING PRAYER CONCERNS Welcome to Sunset on this wonderful day! As the world looks to the gift of God’s love today we also will be looking at that greatest of all gifts during our sermon time. We were blessed with several new additions last Sunday. We welcomed Jacob Wampler who is a high school student at Rogersville. We also welcomed the Penner Family to Sunset. John and Sandy Penner have six children: Alex, Julian, Michael, Elizabeth, Matthew and Cassie. John is employed with AT&T and Sandy home schools. We also welcomed Steve and Donna Combs and their two college aged children, Andrew (student at Harding) and Cathy (student at Freed-Hardeman) and Steve’s mother, June Combs to our church family. They recently moved to Republic from Paragould, AR. Steve works for Associated Electric Cooperative and Donna is a CPA. What a blessing to have all these new folks with us. Welcome them and get to know them as soon as you can!! We also had the opportunity to pray for our sister in Christ, Kim Hansen. She came asking us to pray for her as she has been going through a very difficult time. Prayer is powerful and can change any situation. Next Sunday as we begin a New Year we will also be beginning a short sermon series on Genesis. We will be focusing on the first beginning on that day. Our elders have suggested that we begin the New Year by spending some time in prayer, together asking for God’s direction and blessing. Therefore, on Sunday night we will be spending time in prayer and song as we look out at the untracked snow of 2012. My prayer for every member of this church family in the new year is that God will give you the wisdom for every challenge, the strength for every burden, and the joy for every day.
