Concerns

+  George Gielow, once a deacon at St. Paul's, called to let us know his wife, Joyce Gielow, passed away peacefully October 28. Joyce was baptized at St. Paul's.

+  Amy Abshire asks for prayers for her nephew, Garrett, who was hospitalized in Pueblo last week and is now back home. Please pray for his recovery, physical and spiritual. Keep her sister, Amanda, and all her family in your prayers.   

+  Tim Cook lift up in prayer the family of Rich Marsh, who died suddenly last week. For the past 17 years he had served as our conference chancellor (the chancellor is the lawyer for the conference). A loss to his family most of all, of course, but also to the entire Mountain Sky Conference.

+  Claudia Mills asks for prayers for the Afghan people being expelled from Pakistan in the coming weeks.

+  Tim Cook asks for prayers for Frank R. who is having medical concerns.

+  Prayers are asked for the people of Nepal following Friday's earthquake.
