Weekly Update 4/3

Thank you Patrick for our message this morning. . .REFUGE.  The text was take from Psalm 46.  This was such a relevant subject because of two reasons.
The LTC kids and coaches brought home so many medals last weekend from LTC. The theme this year was REFUGE.
Also, our building was a refuge for over 1,000 people, who were here to pay their respects for Trooper Jeffrey Nichols.  (There were 30 states represented.)
Pray for more opportunities for our church to be a refuge for everyone.

RESPONSE:  I went forward this morning asking for prayers for me and Webber.  Today is day 126 of a migraine for him. I can't imagine how miserable that is.  He has an appointment in 3 weeks for the botox injections.
