Missions Focus: Continue to pray for the Trotter family, Charity and Amos, who lost their husband and father suddenly last week. They are a missionary family we support and they previously attended Corner Church. You can be a help by donating to their gofundme. Go to gofundme.com and search John Trotter. Thanks for praying for them and donating.

Local: Pray for Art-a-Whirl and local events this weekend and for Corner Coffee and Corner Church people to make good connections.

Church: Pray for community-building and deeper relationships within community and with each other.
