prayers, personal visits and words of
encouragement during Dad’s illness. Thank
you for your cards and expressions of

Verse for Sunday, February 8:
2 Corinthians 12:9
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient
for you, for my power is made perfect
in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the
more gladly about my weaknesses, so that
Christ’s power may rest on me.
Verse for Sunday, February 15:
1 John 4:7-8
Dear friends, “Let us love one another,
for love comes from God.” Everyone who
loves has been born of God and knows God.
Whoever does not love does not know God,
because God is love.
