Prayers for our members

Requested byPrayer Request
Pastor for Dennis & Sherrie DuossThe MRI results that Sherrie received were not as good as they had hoped. Sherrie is now in hospice care. We do not know for sure how long Sherrie will be with us but from what I hear, her health is deteriorating quickly. Please keep Dennis in your prayers so that he will be able to find comfort and peace in his heart. Please pray for Sherrie that she will be comforted and at peace before her soul is embraced by our Lord.
