Prayer Notes:
- Kim Gnewuch's niece's son Vinnie (2 years old) was just diagnosed with diabetes. Let's include him in our prayers and ask that God give strength to him and his parents as they process this news and move forward with the special care needed for someone so young.
- Let's also ask the Lord to bless the service of our APA students this weekend who have worked hard to prepare for Sunday's Christmas service. God bless them and may the message they proclaim bring peace and joy to those who hear it.
