Prayer and Praise Pray for the Teigland family as they mourn the loss of their father, grandfather, great-grandfather, Erling. We rejoice that he is now with the Lord he loves. Please pray for Kathryn's friend, Loretta, and her husband who has Parkinson's. He is getting weaker, and Loretta is his primary care person. Pray for strength for both of them. Pray for Pastor Dave Christenson who has been ill. Pray for a return to good health. Praise that Vickie is doing much better (she had dizzy spells). Pray for a continued good recovery. Please continue to pray for Dan and Mardelle Lida. Pray for relief from pain for Dan. They are no longer able to attend church but would enjoy receiving cards from their friends in our congregation. Praise that Laila got a new car (new to her), a good car that just fell in her lap. (only 14,000 miles on it!) She knew she had to get another car, and the Lord knew it too! She is so grateful! Continue to pray for Bob Hosmer while he is in Japan. Pray for a safe journey. Please continue to pray for Todd Eisinger and that his recovery will continue to progress smoothly. Pray for all the Christians who are being persecuted around the world. Help us to not be complacent or become too comfortable.
