Dinner with Dessert, it’s a date!
Today, the Ministry of Men will be handing out a “Pray with Your Wife” participation and reminder card. Beginning today, men, and continuing through Saturday May 10th, we ask you to pray with and for your wife each day, mark the prayer card, and then we ask you to take your wife to dinner on Saturday evening, May 10th. It’s your date. After dinner, all couples are invited back to People’s Church at 7 p.m. for dessert and an informal time of sharing and encouraging one another in this area of praying together. Take your card today, men, pray with and pray for your wife, plan your dinner date and see you at 7 p.m. on Saturday. We trust God will bless your marriage as you pray together this week.

Thank You
Liege and I would like to thank the church family for all the cards, emails, visits, gifts and prayers offered on Liege’s and our family’s behalf during the last few months as Liege has been recovering from his stroke. We have seen many prayers answered and your love and concern have been much appreciated. Thank you for blessing and encouraging us during this difficult time.
