OUR CHURCH FAMILY

Birthday wishes are extended to Mr. Bert Bolink who celebrates his birthday, tomorrow, February 22. May God bless you as you celebrate with family and friends.

Thank you! I'd like to thank the congregation for all their support through prayer and encouragement. Rehabilitation has been and still is a long process. My legs are considerably better then they were a month ago with the improvements seen mostly in my balance. I lack agility and confidence in going down stairs. I'm nearing the end of physiotherapy but will still need to continue on my own time to fully recover. X-rays still show severly fractured bones that hopefully will recover in time. My leg still feels broken and even though I have returned to work I need to listen to my legs and rest when they get fatigued. We serve an awesome God who shows mercy to all of us. Thank you! Daniel Hummel

Please pray for Susan Hummel, sister-in-law to Cobi H who began chemotherapy this past Friday. Susan has been diagnosed with lymphoma in her neck. Thank you. The Hummels

CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR...Art, Sid's dad, reports that he's doing well. Pray for continued strength to recover.
Everet S. reports that his eyes are doing better, and that he got new lenses for his glasses this week.

Henny V.F. recovers very slowly and makes small steps of improvement.

Bill M., Jenny A's brother, has returned home and recuperates slowly.

Pray for Pastor Kevin and his family.

Pray for Dan K., Melody, and the children. Pray for continued grace and mercies.

Pray for the people of Haiti, for all those who have lost family members and homes.

Also remember those who suffer from chronic disease, pain and depression that may not be as visible.

Please keep in prayer all those who are mourning because a loved one has died.

Please pray for our widows, widowers and seniors

Mary N, at the Good Samaritan Center,
