We were blessed on Sunday to have a special guest speaker, Don Hamilton, share with us about a church plant he is starting in Kansas City. Don told how he came to realize the need for the church and about his background. Using scripture text Acts 9:8 -19 he shared the story of Ananias who was used by God. Ananias was obedient when asked by God to go to Saul, who was well known for killing Christians and pray for him. Upon doing so scales fell off of Saul’s eyes healing his blindness and Ananias became a hero. We may not be the hero to many but we could be the hero to one. Allow yourself to be used by God. Don asked us to be heroes for his new church plant in Kansas City by praying for the new church.
Continue praying for Chad Price, Caroline Wilson, Ashley Wheatley, healthcare workers and emergency personnel, law enforcement, and our country’s leaders. Pat Kampe was back in church Sunday wearing her lovely smile. How blessed we are to approach the throne of grace with our prayers and to be confident knowing God hears our prayers and answers each one. Praise be to God!
