Prayers requested for Pastor John Viland. Earlier today, John suffered a heart attack and was airlifted to an area hospital where a stent was successfully placed. Please lift him and his family up in prayer during his recovery. By God’s grace and healing hand, John is still able to serve.

Thank you in advance for your thoughts and prayers.
