Prayers, please.
Casey Henson is now back at home, on a new medication that appears to be keeping those blood clots at bay. Please continue to keep Casey in prayer, along with her family, and the doctors and nurses who minister to her.
What's Goin' On At Beacon?
Bob Farwell is doing a great job filling in as our interim pastor, while the Pulpit Committee continues their search for the man God has planned to send us. If you haven't been to one of his services, you're missing a great message. God is there every week! Please keep our committee, and Bob, in prayer during this time of transition.
