Special Prayer Requests

Gilbert Crapson requests our prayers especially for his niece Ally Kester of Burlington who has been sick with an illness doctors have not yet been able to diagnose. Please pray for Ally and for the doctors that they can determine what needs to be done so she can be better.

Also Gilbert's nephew, David Shannon of Concrete, Washington is grieving over the recent death of his wife. Please remember him and others in his family in your prayers.

Check back tomorrow for other prayer requests from Sunday's announcements.

Some have asked about newer versions of the John Clayton videos we have been watching on Wednesday nights. Good news! The videos have been updated and are available online. Here is a link to the available videos.

A lot of information is available at www.doesgodexist.org

Tuesday Nights

We will be meeting on Tuesday nights instead of Wednesday nights prior to Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's holidays. On Tuesdays, November 25, December 23, and December 30 we'll have our midweek potluck dinner and mid-week meetings a day early. Please keep this in mind as your schedule your holiday activities.
