Helping God,
There are times in our lives when we know only grief and despair. The future seems bleak. These feelings occur when a loved one dies, when we get a bad report from the doctor, when we are estranged from family or friends, or when there aren’t enough resources to meet daily needs. May we know that, even in the darkest times, You are there. You are a God of grace and peace. Your presence helps and sustains us. Hope comes when we accept Your love. Life’s circumstances may not change, but You are alongside us. . .helping, encouraging, nurturing and guiding. We give You thanks in Jesus’ name. AMEN.

Please continue to pray for the family of Gladys Turner, Beth Henneke’s aunt, who died on Saturday. Terry and Beth will be taking her ashes back east for burial.
Our prayers go with Mike and Lana Ellis as they now transition to a new home in Edmond.
We welcome a new member, Ricky Cornett, who joined our church yesterday. He joins his wife, Teena, who became a member a few weeks ago.
This is Tri-State week. Paul Giberson is coordinating our church’s support and hospitality. If you would like to help then come to the church this Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday. Paul will be here from 7:30 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. The Guild is also providing a snack bar as a fund raising project. Come and support the Guild.
This should be a more normal week in the office. Don and I are both back “on duty”.
We received good reports from the adults and the youth who attended the Regional Assembly. I read some very good comments from our youth on facebook.
