We also have a special missionary couple, Jose and Mary Lou Marcos, who will be joining us next Sunday and it would be a joy to pray for them in person. While we won’t be hosting a lunch due to their schedule, they will be available in the connection cafe after the 11 AM service. Lastly, we ask for your prayers for our upcoming mission trip to Uganda, where we will be serving schools, training pastors, and reconnecting with the children we sponsor.
