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
