We extend our sympathy to Jo and Pete Dekkers and their family at the passing of Jo’s brother, John TeSlaa, who is also the uncle of Brad Dekkers. May the God who raised Jesus Christ from the dead assure them of the promise of eternal life for those who trust in him.

Kory Bonnema will be moving back to the Village on Monday after a couple of months recovering from back surgery.

Beth Faber returned home from the hospital late last week and has been seeing specialists in Sioux Falls.

Pray for our college students as many of them return to their studies this week.
