ues ATTENDANCE & OFFERING
ues SHEPHERD AT 50 UPCOMING EVENTS
“Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven.” (James 5:14-15) The Board of Elders and Deaconesses opens its monthly meetings with prayer in the Worship Center. In order to attend to the spiritual well-being of our congregation and to follow the guidance in James 5, the board is offering church members and our community the opportunity to have personal prayer time with the Elders and Deacon-esses. Personal prayer time will begin at 6 p.m. prior to the start of monthly meetings, on the first Tuesday of the month. Please contact the church office to RSVP, 614-3742 so we may plan accordingly.
