Farewell Openhouse for Pastor Dave Schultz

Join us on Sunday, December 30 from 2 - 5 PM for a openhouse for Pastor Dave and his family. That will be his last Sunday with us; as he is answering the Lord's call to a church in Arthur Iowa. Any money gifts should be cash, but checks can be made out to Marylou Detmer by December 27 so she can convert them to cash before the party.

Men's Study Group 
Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another. (Proverbs 27:17 )

⇒ Normally, on the fourth Saturday of each month we meet at 9 AM at the church for a breakfast, fellowship, and a study discussion. Due to Thanksgiving in November abd CHristmas in December, we will not meet again until January. Details will be announced in early January.

Mark your calendars for Saturday, March 9, 1019. That is the date for the Annual Men's Conference at the Gaylord E-Free Church. Details will be posted here when available.

Carving Club:

⇒Our 'wood carving club' meets on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of each month at noon (at the church building).  Beginning and experienced wood carvers are welcome and there is even some equipment and projects for beginners.  If you have questions or need more information -- talk with Wade Davis, Steve Detmer, or Dave Dewar.

 Prayer Requests: 

We as a church believe in the power of prayer.  If you have a need that you would like us to join you in praying for, or if you have a praise report that we can celebrate with you, please let us know.  The Elders feel that it is a great privilege to pray for the needs of the congregation and have extended that privilege to the church body through the use of the Prayer Request Form.  It allows you to choose to have just the Elders pray for you, or to have your prayer request shared with the congregation through the email newsletter.  Here's what you need to do:

• Fill out a Prayer Request Form (found in the prayer request basket), indicating whether it is a private (Elders only) or public request. Public prayer requests should be for you or for a close family member, again to protect privacy. 
• If you choose to email a prayer request, send it to Pastor Dave at (pastordave@graylingfreechurch.org) indicating if it is a private or public request. For public prayer requests that occur after Sunday let Pastor Dave know by Thursday noon if you want it included in the Friday newsletter.  If you want the pastor to call you please indicate that and include your phone number. 
• Public prayer requests will appear in Friday's newsletter for one week, unless you indicate otherwise. 
  
• Remember that praise reports are encouraging to the church, so be sure to tell us about how God is working in your life!
