Ministry:
The consistory has decided to give our pastor one service off (or make
a pulpit exchange) per month in order to help with his workload.
In accordance with that decision, this evening Rev. Spriensma and Rev.
Decker have exchanged pulpits.
Song Service
will be this afternoon at 4:45 with Tom Vander Waal leading.
Our Sick:
Cody De Boer underwent surgery this past Tuesday in order to prevent
future infections building up in his sinus cavity and close to his brain,
thus minimizing the contracting of meningitis. We praise God for directing
the hands of the surgeon! We give Him thanks for all things! Let
us continue to remember Cody and the De Boers in our prayers.
