We give thanks for the ministry of Pr. Tom Orth (an ecumenical partner from the UCC) at Grace, Alpena and for the ministry of Pr. Roger Bauer at Hope, Rhodes, as they begin their retirement!

We continue to hold in prayer the people of Messiah, Constantine and the family and friends of Will Howard at his unexpected death. Will was a candidate for ordained ministry in our synod, just getting ready to begin his second year of seminary.
