Uncommon: Finding Your Path to Significance
By: Tony Dungy, Nathan Whitaker
Tyndale House / 2009 / Hardcover
What does it mean to be a man of significance in a culture that doesn’t offer many positive role models? Reflecting on lessons he’s learned from his parents, career, mentors, and journey with God, Dungy moves beyond material success to illuminate those ambitions, attitudes, and allegiances that make our lives truly meaningful. 256 pages, hardcover from Tyndale.

Grandmother’s Prayer Time
2 Tim 1:5 “..The faith that dwelt in your grandmother.”
Grandmothers have a unique place in the lives of their grandchildren. Join other grandmothers praying for their grandchildren. We meet every Tuesday, 7:30-8:30 AM in room A-2.

Moms InTouch Prayer for College age and Beyond
Mark 13:32, “…Could you not keep watch one hour?”
After our children leave the nest, moms can feel so powerless. How do we replace that hole that is left in our hearts and lives when there are no more bedtime stories, homework hassles, and when dinner times are quiet? We can substitute the active ministry of prayer for our children as adults. Join with other moms as we pray for our older children. We meet every Thursday, 10:30-11:30 am in room A-3 at the church. Contact Jerilyn Stewart for more information.
Prayer
We would love to pray with you…
Our mission is to intercede in prayer to God on behalf of those individuals who have expressed a need or to celebrate a praise. We intercede and pray for each request received, sharing with those in need, and praising God for answered prayers.
And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he will hear us: And if we know that he hears us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. 1 John 5:14-15
