Prayer is a Powerful Thing

Hello Everyone,
While preparing for my sermon last week on prayer I had an opportunity to reflect on just how powerful prayer can be. Prayer has made an amazing difference in my life and in the lives of so many believers around the world. This week I ask that we all pray for Luke Sims as he continues to heal and become stronger. I also ask that we all pray for Pastor Michael and Pastor Jen. Please pray that the Lord will grant them peace in their hearts as they are there for Luke through this difficult time. God is great! He has blessed us all through Luke's inspiring journey so far in his life and I pray that He will continue to bless us as we watch Luke grow in the years to come.


Here are some Family Ministries updates for this week:

1. Habitat For Humanity Dinner Tonight - Tuesday March 22nd at 5:30pm - Join us in Fellowship Hall for a potluck dinner for the Collegiate Challenge students from up  north, giving up their Spring Break to work on a Habitat build here in Martin County. Bring a dish and join us for the fun!


2. Last Connect Group Dinner/Meeting - Our last connect group dinner and meeting for this cycle will be tomorrow night, Wednesday March 23rd.

The rest of our groups will begin meeting again in June.
