Jan 2nd Newsletter

Hi Everyone!                                                               January 2, 2025
Happy New Year to you all! I hope this new year will be happy and healthy to you all.
On Sunday, we had a surprise leader for our service. Danny Crego wasn’t able to make it to church and our own Lyna Wilkins stepped up to lead us along with Carmen Kumagai’s help. They did an excellent job. We appreciate you both!
With the holidays behind us we will start having meetings again. The Finance Committee will meet on Tuesday, January 14th at noon in the fellowship hall. The Ad Board will meet on Monday, January 20th at 7:00 p.m. Ken will phone in from Arizona. Everyone is invited to these meetings.
We have some prayer requests this week.  Ron Warzyn’s sister-in-law Terri Warzyn has COPD and has been in the hospital with pneumonia. Please keep her on your prayer list. Joyce Whittet’s son Dennis recently had a stroke. He is home now and is doing better but keep Dennis in your prayers. Joyce’s great grandson Weston has been in the hospital with stomach problems. Keep Weston in your prayers.
We heard from Laura Tompkins that Nick was able to call on Christmas Eve and reported that Basic Training is hard but that he is doing fine. Keep Nick in your prayers for a few weeks.
Ken and Kathie Phelps have made their way to Arizona for the rest of the winter. We will miss them and envy them at the same time.
Teresa Beer made a promise to herself that if BSU was in the Fiesta Bowl again, she would get there somehow. She did! She rode a fan bus with 50 ish strangers and made it just fine. She is home now disappointed with the outcome but I’m sure she’s proud of the Broncos.
Please pray for all the victims of the attack on innocent people in New Orleans early Wednesday morning. Some are grieving losses and some are trying to heal both physically and emotionally. Keep these folks in your prayers.
Keep praying for these folks: Ed Parsons, Lis Williamson, Irene Jeffries, Lexi, Meegan, Megan, Grace Hammon, and Jackie.
We also have a praise this week. Carmen and Dale Kumagai’s son Cory is visiting this week and everyone is excited about that especially Marcy!
We will have birthday cake after church on Sunday! Glenora will bring the cake in honor of Marcy, John, Cris and Shane who all have birthdays very close together. Come enjoy cake and bring a card if you’d like.
May the New Year bring you peace, joy and many blessings!
