As the deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
Psalm 42:1-2 |
PRAISE POINTS
We got to bless our neighborhood in a recent outdoor outreach. We called it Grill Night. It was such a fun time - eating, talking, and bouncing. Surprisingly, more people came than we prepared food for; however, without solicitation two different families from the neighborhood arrived with several boxes of sweets and drinks. Although many of us didn't know each other, it felt like family.
We were blessed with the presence of the Water Church from Bend who stayed in our gym a few days. Jeff Utu and their energetic team provided support to an important ministry to our city - Church at the Park. One project included building a cooling center in our parking lot to provide shade for those in the Safe Parking program, a ministry to those living in their cars.

PRAYER POINTS - Several people in our Church are grieving the loss of loved ones. Pray for the comfort of the Holy Spirit.
Our Food Pantry that serves 60-75 families twice a month has had to make several adjustments to serve families despite County Food Programs being inconsistent with food support due to lack of funding. We are especially grateful to the Church's generous support, but pray we find creative ways to supplement food throughout the year so every family leaves our food pantry with an abundance. -
Pray for our leadership team as we pray and talk through the blueprints of our future. Pray we have the wisdom to know what our next step is and the courage to take it.
