Hi Roger,

    It was good to see some activity...I thought I would respond even though I don't have alot to add.  My Praise report is that our church just approved a $900 budget for 2008 for our health ministry.  I expected alot less in view of the decreased budget receipts for 2007.  Our community in North Alabama has been hit with alot of layoffs and decreased incomes.  I do Praise God for allowing me to do this ministry.  It was really an answer to my prayers.  Our health ministry started a couple of years ago. 

 

Right now, I am learning first hand about caregiving.  My 83 year old Mom fell during the holidays, and I have had to back off on some plans that I had made for January.  We have alot of caregivers in our church.  I want to start a support group for them as soon as time allows and I can get a leader for it.  I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions.

 

Thanks so much Roger for leading this group.  God Bless!    Norma U.

Hellooooooo out there in cyberspace!! ! Is anyone there...????

Well, I hope that everyone has had some awesome holidays! I hope
those that wanted a white Christmas got one. After 20 years down with
Palm trees, I still have not gotten used to a green, warm Christmas!
oh well!

I have also noted that there has been no activity for some time.
Doesn't anyone have something to offer??

What are people reading?

What has God placed on your heart for this new year?

How can someone else help?

Prayer requests and praise reports.

How is God moving in your ministry?

Let us encourage one another and utilize this tool that we have been
given!

In the Love of Yeshua!
