All:
Just to let you that I sent in the information for our group to sponsor Foziya through World Vision. The amount that I put us down for was $40 per month. The minimum amount was $35 so I put us down for a little more since I know we can do that pretty easily as a group.
When they receive the information I sent, they will send us a welcome packet that will have more info on Foziya, including her last name, some more particular and various other info. We will also get an update every month from World Vision as to what our funds are going toward in regards to Foziya. It also stated that we can expect to receive some information, such as a letter, from Foziya in about 3-4 months. We will have many options on things that we can do with her, including being able to send "small" gifts and such if we so choose. I will be sure to fill everyone in further once we receive the information.

We were ahead of the sermons in Ephesians since Dennis Martin had preached last Sunday, so this Sunday we spent our time talking about our group's sponsored child and sharing prayer requests.
Blake shared some of the details of our sponsorship of Foziya through World Vision. In addition to monetary contributions, we want to remember to lift Foziya and her family in prayer and make a commitment to developing a relationship with her through letters. Blake passed out information on how we can correspond with Foziya and has all of the account information. Thanks for taking charge of that, Blake!
Our time of prayer was filled with many requests that are weighing heavily on people in our group. Please keep the following in prayer this week:
*Casey's mom and stepdad on a mission trip to the Ukraine
*Jackson Quinn's MRSA is back. They will see an infectious disease doctor in SF this week.
*Amy Gephart's nephew had 2 seizures recently for still undetermined reasons
*Impact Lives - Money to be raised and volunteers for packing. Also for Deb as she leads the event
*Safety for our kids as we approach summer
*Our future pastor
*Renee's mom - is pregnant and was told she possibly has cancer
*Kari's stress at work
*Caleb and Hannah's parents - traveling together to SD this week. Pray for safety and an enjoyable visit!
*Ministries at our church - Men's and Women's ministries; VBS coming up soon
