Many thanks to Arnie Francis, Associate in Ontario District, who has volunteered to serve as our new Prayer Group Coordinator.

Many, many thanks to JoAnne Chrones who has so very faithfully carried out this ministry for the past year and a half.

Requests stay on the prayer list for two weeks unless otherwise indicated.
