Pray for Zarephath Church Flooding

Please pray for our brothers and sisters at Zarephath Christian Church in Somerset NJ. They had 14 feet of water covering the campus of their church, day care center, and Christian college earlier this week. They have lots of cleaning up to do before they get back to normal.

If you can help out financially it would be a great blessing to them. Go to their website to learn more.

Peace, Pastor Bill

Hurricane Irene Drops Tree on Miss Maxine’s House

Maxine is our oldest member at 95, and she is doing remarkably well. However, her house has a tree on it. Fortunately she told me she has insurance and her children live nearby and take good care of her.

If Maxine, or anyone else, needs help from the wider community, I’ll let you all know.

Please pray for Miss Maxine and everyone else effected by the hurricane.

God bless you,

Pastor Bill

Hurricane Irene Floods Rahway

At least six inches of rain hit Rahway Saturday into Sunday. Lots of flooding and some areas without power. The church did ok, with some water in the basement. We got a call from the city asking us to cancel worship on Sunday. We've had many storms and blizzards, but never has the city called and asked us to shut down! We are having Sunday worship this week on Wednesday, 7PM.

Hope you all fared well.

Peace,

Pastor Bill

Hurricane Irene Postpones Worship

Friends, it is predicted that we will get 8 inches of rain by the end of Sunday from Hurricane Irene. We are rescheduling our Sunday morning worship service to Wednesday evening 7PM. The afternoon Telugu service is cancelled for this week.

I’ll keep you updated on our status during the storm. Rahway has had major floods during storms like this, so I’m sure sections of the town will be a mess.

Please pray for us and pray for everyone in the path of Irene.

God bless you,

Pastor Bill
