Thank You
Karen and Dwight wish to express their gratitude for the anniversary cards and are grateful for the special day of commemorating Dwight’s 25th anniversary as pastor of Alert on January 7th. Thank you very much.
Thanks to all of you for remembering me in prayers, phone calls, helpful hands, food, etc. during these weeks I have been under the weather. You just can’t know how much I appreciate your prayers and helpfulness. Everything you have done has been such a blessing. Thanks again! Evelyn Larson
Rose Linhardt has made the difficult decision to go to Arizona for cancer treatments. Rose, Gracie, and Rosie will be gone for 8 weeks and then will have follow ups every two weeks after the initial treatment is completed. If you feel led to help financially, you can go to youcaring.com and make a donation or you may designate “Rose” on the memo line of your church offering. You can also follow Rose ‘s journey for the next few months on the Caring Bridge blog. Sam, Rose and family appreciate prayers, as they begin this difficult journey.
Sermon Ideas
Lord willing, Pastor Dwight will finish his sermon series in 1 Timothy next Sunday. In light of this, Dwight thought this would be a good time to ask for sermon ideas from the congregation. If you have a scripture passage that you would like him to preach from, just send him an email sometime.
If you would like your individual yearly givings for 2017, and did not receive one last year, please contact Nancy Hofmann. Thanks!
