Continued prayer for the Stalboergers

Amy, Josh and James Stalboerger lost their house on May 11^th to fire.  

 

Jean Sando is helping organize gifts and immediate needs for the family. Gift cards, food, financial help are all needed desperately at this time. Jean’s # is:

 (218) 329-0716

 

Gifts can also be dropped off at Annette Morrow’s house (Annette is Amy’s mother). 1119  Ave S., Fargo 

 

Holy God, we pray Amy, Josh and James, who have been devastated by this tragedy in their lives. We hold in our hearts this family who we love and care for. Bring them consolation and comfort in this time. Surround them with our love and prayers for strength. Give them the courage to face the days ahead. And help us to respond with generosity in prayer, in assistance, and in comfort to the best of our abilities. Keep our hearts focused on the needs of the Stalboerger family at this time. We ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen.

  

Words of Wisdom:

"To trust God in the light is nothing, but to trust him in the dark. That is faith." ~Charles Spurgeon

From the Green Team:

Spring flowers have a cheery accent. Your flowers can do double-duty as food for bees. Bees have been stressed in recent years by Colony Collapse Disorder and the loss of habitat. Plants like milkweed, asters and many more can help our bees survive.
