Sharing of Joys and Concerns from Sunday, September 19, 2021
-
Dolly - It’s Larry’s birthday today and I am SO GRATEFUL he was born!
-
Janice - It has been a rough week at the child development center. Pray
for the TCDC board and for new people to be on the board.
-
Jen - My friend and neighbor, Jenny, has a son (Ben) who was hit by a
car five years ago. He was catastrophically injured, but survived. He made
progress early on, but has declined for some years. He entered hospice on
Friday. He is 14. Please pray for Jenny and her family.
-
Bob Knipe - Pray for a colleague going through a divorce. Two children 9
and 6, several transitions in the past few years. Pray for Becca and I as
we go through similar transitions.
-
Miguel - Thankful for the healthy birth of granddaughter Ava and the
ability of Stacey to be there with Hayley and Daniel and Ava during these
first few weeks.
-
Stacy - I have had good experiences on the job market in the last week.
There is progress.
-
Pastor Lee - This pastoral transition has layers of feelings and
dynamics for me. I am looking forward to retirement and a slower pace of
life, but also feeling a sense of loss. I am curious about what God is
calling me to in my next stage of life.
