• Praying for our youth, May through August. “God has so far placed Himself subject to prayer that by reason of His own appointment, He is induced to work among men in a way in which He does not work if men do not pray. Prayer lays hold upon God and influences Him to work.” --E. M. Bounds (1835—1913) pastor, intercessor, & author of many classic books on prayer. Names for the week of May 28: Jonathan Bryant and Lucas Driediger.

UPDATE ON SABASTIAN: Four of the five men who were burned on the West Virginia construction job the day after Easter have died. Jerry Sebastian is the only survivor. He is now at home and the doctors are satisfied with the progress he is making. There have been no projections about when he will be able to work again. Meanwhile, the gas company has begun negotiations with the five families suggesting that they want to assist, but at this time no specifics are known. Gifts have been coming in to the Riverside Mennonite Church and are much appreciated. Both Jerry Sabastian and Teresa Mallow (widow of Leroy Mallow) are receiving assistance from the compassion fund. The love expressed in your generosity is helping to tide these members of Riverside over for now. May God bless all who have given. Any further gifts can be sent to the Riverside Mennonite Church, c/o Marlene Flanagan, Treasurer, P.O. Box 217, Dry Fork, WV 26263-0217. Please designate your gift for the “Compassion Fund.”
