In conclusion, I, as a father of some Eritrean soldiers, and most importantly, as a Christian, would like to ask you to continue to pray and extend your assistance so that through your intercession these two neighboring East African countries may reconcile, and with your usual financial support hungry and displaced people could be saved and rehabilitated. May Jesus, the Way, the Truth and the Life, send His Love and Peace to the peoples of all Nations. The first time I attended a prayer and healing service it was mostly out of curiosity. I thought only people sick in body or mind or someone with big problems should attend. I soon learned that even if you have no obvious problems, you benefit greatly.
Prayer does marvelous things.
One can choose to be vocally active or silently supportive in prayer. Being there is what counts. At the congregational luncheon on April 30, Jill Bodling was awarded a financial gift from the Rick Kauzlarich Special Talents Fund. This gift may help Jill purchase a new flute. Thanks to all who participated this year.
