Prayer Requests/Update

From Teresa Howard:
Talked to the doc today. He feels it looks like a benign schwannoma. He will remove it surgically. It will probably be February. He has ordered additional x-rays of my neck to determine if arthritis is also adding to my pain. The scheduler will begin to work with me and line things up in the coming weeks.

Continued prayers for healing:

Don’t forget our CONGREGATIONAL FAST begins Sunday, January 9, and runs through Sunday, January 30. This year, we are asking all disciples to have 3 key areas of spiritual focus for which they choose to fast: 
1) A churchwide focus  
2) A family group-shared focus (one for which your family group fasts together)
3) A personal/household focus

Also, the fast will feature 3 consecutive FRIDAY NIGHTS OF PRAYER, each beginning at 7 pm and running through 8:30 pm. We are asking all disciples who can attend to do so.

Friday, January 14 — The men will assemble and pray at the church
Friday, January 21 — The women will assemble and pray at the church
Friday, January 28 — The entire congregation will assemble and pray at the church

HELP FOR CHILDREN IN INDIA

Greetings from Wilmington, DE! If anyone is interested in sponsoring a child at the Asharan orphanage in New Delhi India, please contact Lisa Goodwin: lisagoodwin79@gmail.com. Due to the ongoing pandemic, funding has been cut. One hundred dollars will cover provisions for each child per month, but donations of any amount are appreciated.  There are currently 23 children at Asharan. I hope you all have a Healthy & Happy New Year!
XO,
Lisa Goodwin
