ANNOUNCEMENTS AND PRAYER REQUESTS
Greennest needs volunteers for Saturday
Prayers for my uncle Barkley, my mother’s younger brother, who is in end stage dementia and in the last days of hospice care. Prayers also for my mother in assisted living, also suffering from advancing dementia who is also having to deal with losing her brother.
Fun group this morning. Missed Spicoli, who actually would have been on time but for unexpected parental duties, but was there in spirit. We managed to avoid most of the soggy spots at the AO in spite of some grumbling here and there – all got stronger and enjoyed the 3rd core principle and all three F’s. Honor to lead, keys somewhere behind home plate.
