Smith, Lance Young, Cooper Redfearn, Matt Bagley, Scott Harper Jr.*, Erik Werhner (*Church Member) The prayer focus is for all the displaced families in our church and in the community. Many in our community have been forced to move out of their homes, or to live in parts of their homes as the damages from Florence are being repaired. While many of us struggle through this process, we ask the Lord to help us to be mindful of those who have nowhere to live. We also pray for strength for the volunteers, the insurance adjusters and the contractors who are working hard to help us rebuild. Dear Church Family, I want you to know I have entered the healing phase of my cancer! Treatment was not too bad as many of you encouraged, loved and supported me. I am truly blessed!!
