Dearest Wintergarden Faith Community,
As we continue to pray for one another, our community, our country, and our world, let us do so with love and hope. Our weekly email of prayers is a way for us to share the prayers shared in worship, through the food pantry, and our various other ministries with a larger group. Due to privacy needs we will only include the first names of people and not last names. We also know this list will not be perfect and in need of constant updating. We will review this every week and be mindful of how we are being asked to pray for one another, our community, our country, and our world.
Blessings,
Pastor Devon

Closure!
The church office and pantry will be close on Tuesday and Wednesday, but the current plan is to reopen on Thursday. Obviously, this plan might need adjusting depending on what happens with the storm. But that is the current plan.
Prayers of Joy
- Cheryl is grateful for the start of PT for her back.
- Cheryl is also grateful for Annie and John being such great servants of the Lord and for Kymmie’s patience.
