to help you prepare for worship

Please enter through the doors closest to the kitchen!

Note: Hand sanitizer will ONLY be available on the stands as you enter the FH or feel free to bring your own!!

During the restoration of our sanctuary, the prayer shawls will be on a counter in Fellowship Hall. Patterns are also available for you knitters out there!

Our quilters are in need clean, used sheets. Please put them in the round bin located at the back of Fellowship Hall.

Fact: Women feel pain more intensely than men. And yet, which sex is it that whines and complains more???? Hmmm. Women have more nerve receptors throughout the body than men and have an increased tendency towards inflammation. We are more likely to experience high-impact chronic pain so severe it interferes with the ability to work or enjoy life. Our central nervous system processes pain in different ways than men’s. And again, being women, sometimes our symptoms tend to be minimized or ignored.

What do you need to do? For both sexes, empower yourself with information regarding your condition. Make notes of medications and treatments being used, a list of questions you have, and find your voice to advocate for yourself with your health-care provider to ensure that you get what you need by not complaining but being strategic in your communication. “I am woman, hear me roar!”

Please keep the following people in your prayers:

• Curtis Savenko
• LaDonna Whetzel

Family & Friends of Pat Ross, who passed away Tuesday.

Blessings to Mary and Glenn Borreson as they relocate to Wisconsin and to Shirley and Davis Darrington as they move to Colorado.
