Coming this week:

Our worship services will be conducted by MVA this Sabbath. This will include the choir, band, and special student testimonies.

 

Our all church fellowship luncheon will take place this Sabbath in order to accommodate MVA who will be performing for both services. Please bring a dessert and one of the following pasta dishes: ravioli, stuffed shells or baked ziti. The potluck team will provide the salad and spaghetti. Bring extra for MVA!

 

Coming in the weeks ahead: 

Nora Crawford would like to thank everyone for their cards, prayers, visits and kindness to Ken over the past months. "They have all been wonderful examples of Christianity and love to us both. Ken so loved his God and his church. His faith gave me strength, gave me the courage to go on each day. I know that everyone's prayers were the reason for his courage. Thank you all and my prayers are with you and your families."

 

March 7 is Women's Ministries Sabbath. We are fortunate enough to have Nancy Cantwell as our guest speaker for the day. Please mark your calendar and plan to attend this special Sabbath experience.

 

PRAYER Ministry. The WSDA Church has a prayer team that prays for members' prayer requests.  We are always looking for new members, if interested in joining our team, contact Andrea Gibbs or Laura Hanley.  REMINDER: The team will pray for 30 days for your requests.  If the team has not heard from you after the 30 days, your request will be dropped from the prayer roster. We want to hear your praises and your answered prayers, as well.  Just go to www.worthingtonsda.org and click on prayer at the top of the page, and then click on prayer request at the top of that page to submit your request.  If you don't have a computer, you can call in a request to the church office 885-7812, or put one in the offering plate. Prayer is the lifeline of the church—so keep praying!
