Praying for church members

February 5th, 2010

One of the things I like about our church is each week we pray for two members (and their families) of our Parish.
This goes in our weekly newsletter and on our website so everyone can know who is to be prayed for. The people also get prayed for at the weekly prayer meeting in Merredin.
