Vacation Bible School starts this evening here at Trinity. We pray the Holy Spirit will powerfully direct the leaders and compellingly stir the hearts of the kids so they’ll all love Jesus more!
We celebrate with Jaiden Groeneweg (5) and Gavin De Hoogh as they say their
marriage vows this Saturday. May the home they are starting be rich in love for one
another, for others, and for God.
We are thankful that little Merrick, son of Carter and Jodi Pollema, (5) was able to come home from the hospital and meet his big sister Marlee and big brother Mattias!
We rejoice with Keegan Van Surksum (7) and Lexi Kempers on the birth of their son, Bowen John, born on May 21. We praise God for the gift of new life!
We continue to pray for little Adrien, son of Patrick and Brooke Kooima (8) as he remains in the NICU. We are thankful that he is progressing each day & steadily gaining weight.
Matt Punt, brother of Andrea Cramer (8), continues his long recovery following a plane crash in Alaska. We continue to ask God to heal Matt and provide him and his family with hope and peace.
We celebrate with Betty Vanden Bos (9), who Lord willing, will celebrate her 90th birthday on June 2. In her honor, her family will be serving cookies this morning, following our service. Birthday blessings Betty!
Thank you very much for thinking about and praying for us following the unexpected death of Stan’s brother, Roy. We were encouraged with all the cards, calls, and texts we received. Your kindness across the miles (and kilometers once you cross the border) is deeply appreciated. God’s blessings to you all in Rock Valley.
Stan & Monica Groothof
