Prayer and Fasting
In light of all the pain and turmoil in our country, the shepherds would like to call us all to join together in a time of prayer and fasting this Saturday at noon. Let us call on the name of the Lord and ask for God’s leading for our nation and for ourselves. May we take time to listen to the Spirit. And may we share the love of Christ with all people.
We eagerly look forward to the time soon when we can be together again. Until then, the church building remains closed, and all regular activities at the building are suspended at least through June 13. We will continue offering our online services, and our task force is hard at work on a multi-phase plan to reopen the building and resume meeting together. As those plans develop, we will begin communicating them with you.
Continue reading…Prayers are requested for Brent and Susan Armstrong’s daughter and son-in-law, Breann and Mitchell Barrett. Mitchell is in ICU following an accident last week. He is stable, improving daily and will undergo reconstructive surgery on his face this week.
Bill Burke has been transferred from Tyler ContinueCARE Hospital to Providence Park Rehabilitation and Skilled Nursing. Meredith will not be able to stay with him until the CDC requirements have been lifted. She hopes to return to work next week. Your continued prayers for Bill and Meredith are appreciated.
Please consider providing a healthy snack or gift card for Meredith, Rebecca and Daniel. Available dates can be found on the family’s meal train. Meredith is diabetic, and full meals are not needed at this time. Due to precautions surrounding COVID-19, Meredith asks that you contact her in advance so she can meet you at the entrance to the hospital. Please do not bring anything to the house at this time. Meredith can be reached at (903) 312–1952.
