CONCERNING THE CONGREGATION
Daniel Baker is asked to write to Gary Brummel and Eric Van Den Top to Derick Grimm.
We express our sympathy to Gerald and Marilyn Brummel and their family in the death of their brother in law, Loren Meyer, who died suddenly this past Monday. May our Lord uphold them in this trial and comfort them by His Spirit.
Martin Hoekstra remains in the hospital, but he is improving. He expects to return home early this week.
Loran Te Grotenhuis had an angiogram procedure on Thursday at the Heart Hospital section of Sanford Hospital in Sioux Falls. The procedure went well, and they found no blockages. He returned home the next day.
Let us remember these saints and their families in our prayers. I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only. Psalm 71:16
I would like to thank Rev. Laning, the elders, and members of the congregation for your prayers and support given to me following my surgeries. “Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee, let such as love thy salvation say continually, the Lord be magnified.” Psalm 40:16 –Johanna Westra
