"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!"

Thank you that you make all things new. Thank you for all that you've allowed into our lives this past year, the good along with the hard things, which have reminded us how much we need you and rely on your presence filling us every single day.

Thank you that Goldie Foss has transitioned well into her new home in Connecticut.

We ask for comfort and your presence to be with the family of Mardelle Lida. We pray that God would draw the Severson, Davey, and Myer families to a greater understanding of who You are.

We pray for Barney Nysater, for complete recovery from the surgery he had on Christmas Eve. We pray for quick healing.

Encourage Helga Boge who continues to recover from knee surgery and who is dealing with pain.

Be with Robyn King who experiences daily pain and fatigue. Give her peace and strength.

Show your grace and mercy to Chuck Adams who is struggling with his health.

Touch Rider Hinkle and give him full recovery from his light headedness and nausea.

We continue to ask for prayer for the salvation of Bill.
