Concerns and BlessingsWe will place any special Concerns and Blessings on this page. We invite you to phone or email the church with information for this page.
Concerns and blessings were offered for Dewey as he continues to heal, for Roly Schmidt's mother who has happily settled into the nursing home, for Melissa and husband as they work to put their Iowa City house together to get ready for their move to Cedar Rapids, and pray for a pleasant trip for Pastor Benge and Rev. Bernie Colorado as they travel to seminary school this week. Pam and Damon were fortunate to spend time with all four grandchildren recently, nice to see visitors to church this morning, and good news from Cheryl for satisfactory diagnosis of her mother and of her subsequent release from the Spencer hospital. Concerns were expressed over the tragic earthquake that hit Chili, a country which had recently made the news for its economically growing economy. Thanks were expressed that a tsunami from the earthquake did not reach Hawaii. February 21, 2010: Please keep MaryLou Cook and her family in your thoughts and prayers as she recovers from hip surgery. Also keep Kenny & Anita Hamm in your prayers as they heal from recent surgeries. February 14, 2010: Note: Church has been cancelled due to blowing snow! February 7, 2010: We would like to thank all of you who donated hats, coats, mittens, etc. to the Toy Drive and our local children this year. Your generosity has been much appreciated by many! It's wonderful to live in communities that are so caring! Schaller-Crestland Ministerial Association Toy Drive Committee January 28, 2010: THANK YOU to all of you who take the time to "scoop" us out, check on neighbors and friends, and help those in need following a storm!! How fortunate we are to have such caring people in our community! Thanks to Austin for clearing a path to the church for confirmation class. Be sure to thank the law enforcement, EMS, utlility workers, firefighters and others who worked long, dangerous hours to help us through the ice storm and blizzard. Pray for those at Park View Care Center who are temporarily isolated from family and friends due to a flu outbreak. Our prayers are offered for the two families stranded in Varina during the blizzard who sought shelter in the church. January 24, 2010: Continue to keep those who are recovering from illness, hospitalizations, treatments, and other health issues in your thoughts and prayers. Our sincere sympathy to Liz (& Russ) Davis and Matt Quealy on the loss of Liz and Matt's Uncle this past week. We pray that they feel the power of God's loving arms during this difficult time. Continue to keep Julie (Mason) McMahon in your prayers as she starts on the "downhill" side of her chemotherapy treatments. She is now 2/3 of the way done and things look very positive. Continue to pray tor those in Haiti that are dealing with the aftermath of the massive earthquake. . .those who are dealing with loss and/or injuries and those who have gone to aid in the recovery. ...and God said, "Let there be light and there was!" However, some of our friends and neighbors are still without electricity so continue to check on them periodically! Hats off to those men and women that have been working so diligently throughout adverse conditions to get our electricity on and keep our roads passable! December 27, 2009: Continue to keep those who are recovering from illness, hospitalizations, treatments, and other health issues in your thoughts and prayers. Continue to keep Dewey Stout, Donna Voss and Mary Lou Cook in your prayers. Arnie Wiener's brother, Randy begins his treatments for pancreatic cancer tomorrow. Keep this family in your prayers as they begin this fight!! December 20, 2009: This time of year can be difficult for those who have lost loved ones---please keep them in your prayers as we celeebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. Also keep those who are ill, recovering from illnesses, surgeries, undergoing treatments of just having a difficult time in your thoughts and prayers. At the last Administrative Board meeting, it was decided to use some of our local missions money to help get some much needed clothing items for some of our local Schaller-Crestland students! We delivered some Christmas wish items and have since delivered some more clothing items so, I know the number is up in the double digits!! That's really what Christmas is all about!! Thank you. The following is a note from the TK-8th grade counselor: "Many people donate gifts and such at Christmas time without much thought. Your gifts are exactly what the children asked for, your church group has and will make 6 children's Christmas a lot brighter this year." December 13, 2009: Please keep Arnie and Kelly Wiener in your thoughts and prayers. Arnie's brother Randy has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and will be starting treatments soon. keep the Wiener family in your prayers. Continue to keep Donna Voss, MaryLou Cook, Dewey Stout and all others who are recovering from surgeries, hospitalizations, dealing with health issues or just unable to be "out and about" in your thoughts and prayers also.
