PLEASE PRAY FOR
Members of our congregation who are coping with the loss of loved ones.
Members of our congregation who have been recently hospitalized or who are undergoing on-going medical treatment.
Let us pray for you or a loved one
By using the pink prayer card, found in the pew rack, you can request that the pastor will mention the prayer concern during the pastoral prayer; and/or is placed on the prayer chain. Also, the person we pray for will receive a card from our card ministry. If you are asking on behalf of another, you must have their permission before you make their concern public, since we want to honor everyone’s privacy. To be added to the prayer chain, contact Dawn in the office 235-7088 or admin@waterloofirst.org
