Welcome to Worship at Prosper Christian Reformed Church!

Prayers of Prosper •Please pray boldly for Prosper Church!!

•Pray for our children. Pray that during the summer months they will know, hear and obey God! •Remember our members who find it difficult to worship with us:

June Boven, Betty DeKam, Eleanor Ebels, Bob Jenema, Millie Jenema, Marian Zinger and Cynthia Bazuin. Our older members are important to us and we are so thankful for them. •Pray for safety in the fields for all the farmers and for those who make a living working outside! Pray for timely rains and sunshine for the crops. Pray also for safety as many will be traveling and on vacation during the summer months. •We thank God for our young families and praise him for the gift of life! A healthy baby girl, Dawsyn Renae was welcomed by Tyler & Lynae Gernaat on Friday, June 15th. She was 19 inches and 7 pounds, 7 ounces.

•Pray for our expectant mother, Kaycee Elsholz. •Pray for healing and comfort for... -Clara Squires is home and recuperating. -Greg LaFrance had surgery on Saturday. Pray for God’s grace and peace. Pray also that Greg will have complete healing. -for those of our congregation who deal with chronic pain and illnesses on a daily basis.

We are glad you are here! The Psalmist says, “blessed are those who dwell in your house, for they are ever praising you.” (Psalm 84:4)

Come, sit in God’s house and praise Him today and every day.

After the service, grab some punch and find someone new to talk with. We’re skipping our usual cookies and coffee this morning so our servers can set up for our annual church picnic. Join us!

This morning, Pastor Dirk Koetje will continue his summer series on David and 2nd Samuel. As the final obstacles are re-moved, David will become king over all Israel. Join us this evening at 6:00, as Pastor Dirk will take us all the way from “Deuteronomy to Christ.”

Dear friends at Prosper, How can I say thanks for the warm, open hearts that you extended to Al and myself through these last years? Al’s passing leaves a hole in my heart, too big for anyone else to fill. Except for our faithful Savior! He alone has the love and power to carry our family through this. We feel that love through Prosper Church at this time. — Joan Timmerman
