We hope that your Christmas and New Years' celebrations were good. A few prayer requests were sent in and I would encourage you to pray (see below). Also, here are a couple of brief announcements. We look forward to seeing you this Sunday!
Blessings,
Patrick + Ivetka
Recent teachings:
SOLD Project: Mike + Heather Colletto (CityLighters “in spirit”) are heading out to Thailand on January 8th - 19th on a missions trip with the SOLD Project which ministers to women & children who are trafficked into the worldwide sex industry. This is a ministry path that the Collettos have been walking down for some time now. On this trip they will be serving scholarship students, assisting in an at-risk drop-in center for rescued children, and getting more exposure to the needs of these exploited innocents. Please keep Mike & Heather in your prayers. If you would like to help financially follow the link and make sure to write that your donation is for “Mike/Heather Colletto” under the section "Would you like to make this donation in someone's name?"
