Prayer requests for Pastor Mike
Please keep Pastor Mike and his family in your prayers as he faces some health challenges. Below is the message from Clark Stevens that was sent earlier this week: Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Yesterday I heard that Pastor Mike became ill at the Annual Conference meeting last weekend requiring a brief hospitalization for evaluation and testing. I am pleased to report that he is feeling better but there are more tests to be done before the severity of his illness can be determined. He was concerned that knowledge of his illness may be a cause of anxiety for some of us in the congregation but I assured him that we would want to be informed so that we could pray on his behalf. Please join me in asking our Heavenly Father to bless Pastor Mike with His healing mercy.
