Prayer Update and Thank You! Kandi Marquardt (Gordy and Sue Faber's niece), has finished her radiation treatments for cancer. She will continue to have regular check-ups with her doctor. Kandi expressed appreciation and said THANK YOU for all of the prayers offered for her from our congregation!

Thank you to all that reached out to us at the recent passing of Sophia Top. We were overwhelmed by the hugs, words of encouragement and sympathy, and those that came to the Visitation and Funeral. Special thank you to Pastor Dan and Sue and Ev Breuer for their visits. Also thank you to those that gave food, flowers and memorial gifts. Every day that we went to the mailbox at home or at church we received additional sympathy cards. We are so blessed to part of such a great church family. Your support meant the world to us. Loren and Tammi Top
