Announcements

Thanks to all who helped out with this year’s “Eagle Energy Day”, supervising the high school students and pitching in with the work.  A lot was accomplished, but there’s more to do in time for next year’s Bicentennial!

Email Encouragement!  Alden Barrows has been praying for us daily & would like us to know his email address.  If possible, could anyone in our congregation that has email send him a personal greeting of encouragement this week?  I think he would appreciate it!  His address is:  asbarrows@netsite.com.br.   Of course, handwritten notes are always fine, too! Thank you!

Prayer Pal Reminder:  How are things going with you and your Prayer Pal?  Are you making regular contact and remembering each other in prayer? This is a great time to remember, re-dedicate, and restore good prayer habits for each other!
