Hi Everyone!                                                                February 6, 2025
I’m sorry about the snow!  I bragged that in January we didn’t have snow, sent the email and it started snowing. Yes, we did have to have the parking lot plowed. I’ll try not to brag again but no promises.
The United Methodist Men will have their monthly breakfast meeting at Erika’s Kitchen on Saturday, February 8th at 9:00 a.m.  All men are invited to attend.

We are invited to attend a surprise 91st birthday open house for Ed Parsons this Saturday from 2-5 at his son Tom’s home. His address is 10710 Scotch Pines Road. His lane is just to the north of Ed and Sharon’s house. There will most likely be a balloon tied to the mailbox so you will know where to turn. Sharon says we can’t bring anything. Please don’t bring gifts but cards are great! Let’s turn out for this event! Remember shhhhhh, it's a surprise.
David and Laura Tompkins made their way to San Antonio, Texas for Nick’s graduation from Basic Training at Lackland Air Force Base. He graduated on Wednesday. Congrats to Nick from your church family! There are lots of people in our congregation who know just how hard it was.
We have some prayer requests this week. Gary Olson has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. He will have more tests on Thursday. Please keep Gary and Leslie in your prayers.
Serenity, Camryn and Levi’s great uncle Dennis had successful surgery in Portland last week. He was in surgery for 15 hours but they were able to remove all the cancer. His prognosis is good. Pray for complete healing for Dennis.
Lyna’s cousin George learned that he has stage 4 stomach cancer. Please keep George and his wife Leslie in your prayers during this difficult time.
Danny Crego asks us to pray for his brother. He was checked into alcohol rehab and two days later checked himself out against clinical advice. Please pray for him to make a turn and get well. Miracles happen.
Keep these folks in your prayers: Ed Parsons and his family, Chuck Kinney, Grace Hammon, Voni King, Irene Jeffries, Lis Williamson, Garry Jones.
Please keep our country in your prayers. Everything is so volatile and people are anxious.
Bless and be blessed. God’s light lives in us. He gives everyone of us the gift to bless others. To honor Him is to use this gift and change the world.
