Please pray for healing for Bob De Boer (Rob De Boer’s dad) as he was admitted to the hospital with viral pneumonia, but due to his cancer has a low immunity. It was also discovered that he has a serious heart murmur, which will be repaired once the pneumonia is gone.

Community Freedom Ministry

"I came in to the appt. feeling quite free and fully loved and forgiven by Jesus Christ.  I knew there were a few areas that needed to be renounced and let go of!  I now feel I can do this and feel free because of what Jesus has done and because of who He says I am in Him.  Praise His Holy and Powerful Name!" - a personal testimony from a ministry recipient in May.

We praise God four lives touched and transformed in June.  And ask you to join us in prayer for the freedom appointment scheduled for July and for the several people who are currently inquiring about freedom appointments.  May God's word of truth and their faith, even if as small as a mustard seed, be their weapons in their spiritual battles.

Praise be to Jesus Christ, the Victor and Bondage Breaker!

CHURCH ANNOUNCEMENTS

Sunday School and Higher Ground

We are still in need of a few more volunteers for the upcoming year. You can choose to teach a class by yourself, share a class, or sign up just for electives (6 weeks starting January) for grades 6-12. We also need substitutes and someone to help with our Bible Memory program.

Please contact Lindsey Heuker if you're interested (lheuker@ or 901-6511).
