Prayer for and of the members of New Life: Loving God, be with us and guide us during this time of discernment. Fill our leaders with your wisdom. Keep us mindful of the work you would have us do. Lead us and guide us O Lord to be about the work of your kingdom even as the search for a new pastor continues. Bless all who have taken on extra responsibility and fill them with a sense of your love and presence. Guide those who are discerning their calls in ministry and put a “fire in their bellies” that one may be led to New Life. We pray in your Son’s name, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The following is a small excerpt from a Lansing site called Bridge Michigan regarding Alcona County.
Alcona County has the state’s 10th highest rate of what’s known as “food insecurity”—with 16.2 percent lacking consistent access to adequate amounts of food, according to statistics from Feeding America, a nonprofit network of food banks nationwide.”
You are welcome to bring in items you would like to donate at any time.
