Prayer and Praise Rising From Our Church Family

· Congratulations to Michelle Kosters and Charlie Adams who will be united in marriage on May 3
in La Crosse, WI.  Pray that God will fill their home with his blessings as they begin their lives together in Christ.

·  This past week we asked God to bless those who teach our children, and we prayed that God will continue to encourage them as they give themselves to the kingdom calling of shaping the minds and hearts of children with Christ at the center.

· We rejoice with Shannon Kats & Dan Bloemendaal who exchanged their vows of love in marriage Friday evening, and we pray that their home will always be filled with the presence of Christ.

· Donna Schepel is home again after undergoing knee replacement surgery on Tuesday.  Praise God for the healing she has already received, and keep her in prayer for the therapy she begins tomorrow.

· Praise God for the mighty ways we see him at work in the ministry of GEMS!  Give thanks this morning for the girls who learned a deeper understanding this year that they are daughters of God, and explored all the ways God is calling them to serve him.

· Garren & April Rozeboom rejoice in the birth of a daughter, Ella Corrine, born Thursday afternoon.  We rejoice in God’s faithful love in surrounding both mother and child with his protecting care.

We would like to express our gratitude for all the kindness extended to us during the death of our Mother and Grandmother.  All the cards, food and words of encouragement given to us at this time have been a blessing.  We feel blessed to be part of Trinity’s church family.                                     David, Pam,
                                                Samantha & Chris Sheffield.

Thanks for the words of support, encouragement and prayer during my recent cataract and retina surgery.  All is looking well for now.       
                                                Duane Obbink
