We have so many children and adults in our church and community who need to know someone cares. They may "know" Christ but because of present circumstances they are having trouble feeling His presence. Many members of our NPUMC congregation have been trained in praying, listening, and just plain caring for others. For many it comes very naturally. We are seeking those members who want to do God's work in the form of a "Caring Ministry." This may include visiting, praying, or just listening to someone in need of God's love. I have tried to contact those who I know have the skills needed for this work in the faith. But I don't want to miss someone or hurt someones feelings who has trained for this important church work. If you participated in earlier workshops to prepare for this endeavor, or if this is something you would like to be a part of, contact me personally or by email at hoopref@aol.com.

Continue your prayers
I frequently ask for your assistance in praying for church and community friends. I really believe we should all be in prayer most all the time. God hears us and answers each time we call on Him. We just are not always in "tune" with Him and we don't comprehend the answer! PRAY
Dale Greschelle is still hanging on at Wildwood. He receives no meds for his many ills...but he just keeps on keeping on. It is now nearly 2 months since the doctors gave up on him and sent him into hospice to "pass." He has lost a lot of weight and seeing him linger is very hard on Carolyn. Fortunately, she has her son, Tom and daughter, Vonda to help her along. (Carolyn says, "Rambo helps too!") He's the family dog.
Milly Tucker is back home and doing well. She is just craving to get outside on her ZTR mower!
Don Phillippe is about the same. Somewhat lonely but what a wonderful outlook on life! He would appreciate notes, cards or visits.
It was a tremendous outpouring of love last weekend when MY church family (note the pride) built the two Habitat for Humanity Homes. It didn't take much effort on our part...but for the families that will receive them, it was a miracle! May God bless and keep you.
