This Sunday!

Don't Lock The Door To New Realities in Your Life

 I am going to take a look at what the setback in the Garden of Eden can teach us about our life today. 

All of us are living our life by a set of rules that determine how we see the world.  Some of those rules move us toward God and others move us away from God. There are also other influences in our daily life that are either helping us move toward God or away from God such as the people in our inner circle. "Where is Your Crowd Taking You?" 

Praise Community Fellowship will be leading worship this Sunday. Service time is at 8:45am.  We are located at 800 North Main Street Edwardsville. 

Prayer Requests

Alexis Tharp prayers for healing of brain aneurysm. Her surgery will be on January 23rd at SLU hospital. She is expected to be in the hospital for 3 or 4 days. It is at this time that we will be looking for extra help for Audrey, her 4 year old daughter and support for Barb Weiss who has graciously opened her home to Alexis and Audrey during her time of recovery. We will have a website sign up sheet available soon to help coordinate meals and other help like getting Audrey to pre-school. More info to come!

Colin Rives. We continue to lift up Colin to our healing God. Colin continues to battle cancer. Bill and Judy Daubenspeck are Colin's grandparents. 

Lee and Mary Knapp's grandson Connor and his family need continued prayer for healing and residential solutions for Connor.
