EXTENDED PRAYERS

We have family members who each day are fighting with and struggling with medical conditions and other emotional issues. Their concerns are ongoing and have no immediate "light at the end of the tunnel" date. Also, maybe their light is dim at the end of the tunnel and is not getting brighter as soon as desired. We need to remember these people daily. A minute or two chat, a card, a phone call, an email or a visit will do wonders for each of them and for you!. If you are unable to chat, mail, phone, email, or visit please take a few moments each day and remember one or more. Then talk to God. He will smile. Click on Extended Prayer List to view the list - in .pdf format - of those who continue to "take one day at a time" with undaunted strength and never-ending hope.

Specifically, this document identifies how and what YOU need to do to communicate your information to the proper people so it will be placed in the proper communciation avenue(s) that you desire and that is/are best for the information itself. Click Here to view this Communication Information Worksheet which is a .pdf file.

* The kcoc@carolina.rr.com e-mail address is the best way to get the information out there. The minister get's this as a message on his phone, so it is as good as calling him.
