Among our Joys:
We give God thanks for the baptismal affirmation of our own Cherry and Kimberly LaCross. May God continue to bless their lives of faith as God blesses each of us with the same signs of peace, forgiveness, and hope. We celebrate the new identity we have in Christ as we put away our selves for the work of God to shine within.
Among our concerns, we add to our prayers:
Hamish (Hey-mish) Youtzy, grandson of Marilyn and Richard Youtzy was born January 3 and is currently in the NICU as he came prematurely. Please pray for Hamish, his parents, Brian and Jessica, and all of Marilyn and Richard's family and Hamish's medical team as they care for him and his family. Brian is Richard and Marilyn Youtzy’s son and his wife, Jessica
We add to our prayers Kimberly LaCross's sister-in-law, Tae LaCross as she battles breast cancer. Please lift up Tae, her husband, Tom, their loved ones, and all those on Tae's medical team giving her care.
