Sunday Services and Congregational Midweek for February:
- Sylvia Yanez: Hello brothers and sisters, just wanted to request prayers for my mom Sylvia Yanez, we got some not so good news this week. Her cancer is now terminal with very few options for treatment. The doctor says maybe a year but maybe less. Please pray for her peace and for her to lean on God and not give into her fears. If you would like to send a card, please do so to Sylvia Yanes 11225 Laurel View Dr, Charlotte, NC 28273. If you would like to visit, please contact Viviana at 704-737-8001, text is preferred. Her immune system is compromised so people need to be healthy to be around her. Thank you in advance for your prayers and support. Viviana Kesel

- Mentorship: We all have heard the saying, "It takes a village." Our youth today are regularly faced with challenges and pressure from peers, social media, academics and mental health. Some of these challenges require professional help but many can be calmed/ overcome by our collective efforts and support to encourage our youth and help them to make good choices and grow into great citizens within their schools and their communities. Mentorship makes this possible and godly mentorship can be even more rewarding. If you are interested in helping our youth, whether that entails helping someone with homework, taking a group hiking, fishing or camping or simply going out for coffee, tea, bubble tea or window shopping in the mall, please contact Robert or Davina Lausen. Note: anyone who volunteers to help must complete a background check.
