The doctors now think Judah can be treated at home…. yay!!!

just wanted to pass on to everyone that Judah was taken in to Children’s Hospital this afternoon… he has a bacterial infection and will remain hospitalized as the doctor’s treat it.  Please be in prayer for Ruthie, Phil & Sylee in this….

This Sunday we will be meeting at the Northgate Community Center at 10am. In honor of Mother’s Day we will be having a potluck brunch. Please bring a dish to share that in some way makes you think of your mom!

For those who would like to pray before the service, please join us at 9:30 am.
