Holly Senior is in the hospital at Southcrest. She is intensive care and Ed covets our prayers for healing of his precious wife Holly. John Dickmann __________________

I would covet your prayers for my cousin, Stephanie Smith. The Monday before Thanksgiving she woke up with huge bruises all over her body. She was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia but treatable and curable with heavy chemo. She was transported by ambulance from Joplin to St. Louis to obtain the treatment she required. This past Saturday she had developed pneumonia and was put in a strict isolation ICU room. Yesterday they found blood in her lungs. Her white blood count is 0.1 so the strong antibiotics are keeping her going. I just received a call from my sister, Stephanie is now very critical and fighting for her life. Stephanie turned 34 this year and has 3 little girls. Please pray for God’s ultimate healing, please pray for her husband who is with her and her 3 little girls that are staying with an aunt in Joplin. Thanks, Robin Schinnerer ___________________

Our worship is for God and to encourage one another along our journey. • We share communion every Sunday and you are welcome to share with us. Christ welcomes saints and sinners to his table. • Faith, fun and learning are available for kids infant through 5th grade during worship. An usher or the welcome staff at the Coffee Bar can help you find the right classroom. • There is an area for nursing mothers near the Coffee Bar. • If you need assistance, please talk to an usher, Coffee Bar staff or ministry staff.
