Pancakes, cookies, and fellowship...

Well Tuesday's meeting was a little different than usual. A lot of people were traveling or at RYM, but we still had fun and made the most of the evening. We were all able to hang out together, make pancakes for dinner and then bake cookies and brownies that we later attempted to take Jake and Anna Claire.

As an update for you all, I wanted to let you know that as of Wednesday morning Jake and Anna Claire have electricity in their apartment. :) There had been a miscommunication with the landlord and so the electricity had not been turned on before they arrived Tuesday evening. However, with that said, they are now getting settled in and unpacked and as far as I know will be at church this Sunday for us all to meet and to begin getting to know. Let's all be sure to give them a warm welcome!

On another note... Some of us had mentioned having a shopping trip next week to Goodwill to see what inexpensive treasures we can find! Does Wednesday night work for you all? Let me know, and we'll see what we can work out. :)

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week! :-D

Prayer requests from our July 1 meeting

Pray for healing for Hunter Groves. Hunter is 10 years old and was seriously injured in a jet ski/knee board accident. On Tuesday we learned that he was in an induced coma until doctors stabilized him. Pray for God to restore and heal Him, and for his family also as they are with him and so concerned during this time.

If there is an update, someone please please let us all know!!

A praise from Molly who had great news about a caricature event tomorrow (July 4th) that will provide even more money than she expected, which will help her settle the rent for her house at college. Praise God for the way He constantly provides and meets all of our needs. :)

Pray for Sarah G's grandfather who was admitted to the hospital Tuesday night for an infection. Pray for healing and guidance as the doctors treat him.

Pray for Faith's brother and his friends as they are now in Costa Rica. Pray that God would use them as His hands and feet, and that He would watch over them and keep them safe while there.

Praise that Eric Cook and his family are getting settled into their new home that they are renting from the Wilsons. God indeed does provide. :)

Praise God that Priscilla arrived home safely last night! We miss you already!! :)

Continued prayer for Ed and Claire Natt.

Pray for everyone who will be attending RYM in Florida next week. Pray for their safety on the bus ride there and back, for gentle, patient, and loving attitudes, for God to speak through the many teachers and speakers and touch the hearts of each person there.

Prayer for those going on the Mississippi missions trip later in July. Ask God to prepare us for that week, give us a peace about all the details, and prepare us to serve heartily while we are there.

Pray for Jake and Anna Claire (our new youth leaders) who will be moving here the beginning of next week. Pray for a smooth transition as Jake gets to know us and as we get to know him.
