The office receives calls from
members wanting to utilize the talents of our own
congregation. Recently we received a call from a member wanting to
know who in our congregation they could hire to do electrical work in
their home. Unfortunately, we do not know who to refer these
callers to. We would like to add a section to the directory that
lists your profession / talent with contact information so our members
can use your business, place of business or talent when they have needs
for hire. Email the office with your information.

your favorite recipes to Shawn Iblings at iblingss@yahoo.com

Mission Focus
Mission
Focus: Clark County Fair: Many exciting things have happened at the Clark
County Fair this week! Please continue to pray for the people who
have taken tracts and heard the Bible story at the CEF booth, so far
there have been over 4,500 that have heard the message of Jesus!
Among those, 45 children, adults and teens have prayed to receive Christ
with several others seriously considering making a decision. Pray
that those seeds that have been planted would grow and that those that
made decisions would be strengthened in their newfound faith in the
coming weeks.
Persecuted Church (Used
with permission by Voice of the Martyrs)
North
Korea: is one of the most repressive
and isolated regimes in the world. The country denies human rights to its
citizens. North Korea is the worst perpetrator of persecution against
Christian's in the world. Christians must practice their faith in deep
secrecy and are in constant danger, though many continue to stand strong
under relentless persecution. Despite harsh conditions, Christians are
quietly adding to their numbers daily. Please pray for the persecuted
church in North Korea. Pray for the faithfulness of our brothers and
sisters and how this nation can be reached for Christ.
Church Family
Katherine
Sekerak - Thank you for all the
prayers for me and my family.
Carl St
Helen's sister, Winifred, went
to be with the Lord, August 13, 2009. Please pray for Carl and
Dorothy during this time.
