O God,
Your heart beckons to our hearts. You desire a relationship with us and yet, in your wisdom, we are free to choose. You do not coerce us. You do not manipulate us. Our freedom limits your control. Yet how else can we bring true praise and thanksgiving to you. You are there, O God, and we have but to turn into your embrace and live showered by your grace. Forgive us when we turn away. Strengthen our resolve to accept your love and grace, thereby being transformed and becoming new creations in Christ Jesus, in whose name we pray. AMEN.

John,
Just thought I'd send you an update on Gene. He is doing very well and continues to get stronger every day. He is working hard at his physical therapy and walks from his room and back to the therapy room with the aid of a walker. He's had a little trouble with nausea, probably due to the oral meds. We both thank everyone for all their prayers and we know that they are responsible for Gene's recovery. Never underestimate the power of the saints prayers. He will be at Northwest Hospital at Bass Pavilion for a while longer, room 4231. Cindy Carlson
May we continue to keep Gene in our prayers.
Please continue to pray for Sandra Justice and her family as they mourn the death of her mother, Hilda Layman.
This evening and tomorrow we gather for worship. May we experience God in these services and may we be empowered to bring others so they might also know God’s love.
The Pony Express is coming. Watch for it.
Grace and peace,
John McLemore
