THOUGHT OF THE DAY: The Spirit prays. ​Did you know that there is a verse in the Bible that tells us that when we don’t have the words to pray, the Spirit will pray for us? It’s in Romans 8 and it says this “Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words. And God, who searches the heart, knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.” (Romans 8: 26-27)

MAIL​: GOOD NEWS! The church mail situation is ​finally ​ getting straightened away! It’s being held at the post office and I’ll pick it up from time to time. I got a huge backlog of mail that was previously lost and so if you sent in checks that seem to have vanished, what was lost has now been found! 
 
SERVICE HELP: ​We’re still looking for Scripture Readers and special “Passing of the Peace” videos. If you’re interested in doing either, please contact Pastor Traci or Susan
