The AZ leaders will be adding a few members to our team. We are asking full covenant members to pray and submit recommendations. You should have received a letter in the mail explaining this. Please bring the letter with your recommendations to the gathering on Sunday. Reminder to not include current leaders in your recommendations to the gathering on Sunday. If you are a covenant member and haven't received the canvassing letter in the mail, please email phoenixbranch@cityofthelord.org. There will be extra letters at the gathering.
The Current Leaders:
John Hoyt, Nathan Castellanos, Tom Pivonka, Deacon Dave Knebelsberger, Steve Beguhl, Marj Abele, Cathe Menefee, Paula Bui, Lynn Lillis, Jeanne LeBeau, Noel Storer.
Confessions Available Before Gatherings:
Fr. Andriy is offering the Sacrament of Reconciliation before gatherings this fall. He will be available from 1:45pm to 2:45pm before gatherings. We expect that he will be able to hear four confessions during this time. This opportunity is by appointment only and Father will not be hearing confessions outside of this time frame. We want everyone, including Father, to participate in the gathering. If you are interested in receiving the sacrament, please email: phoenixbranch@cityofthelord.org and let us know what date you are interested in. You must be available to come to the Center no later than 1:45pm. Further instructions will be included in our reply email to you. The offering of this Sacrament will continue as long as there is interest and Father's health cooperates. Pray for Fr. Andriy and all of our priests!
PRAYER REQUESTS
Please keep my brother David, who lives in Texas, in your prayers. He had an emergency heart blockage and was admitted to ICU for treatment. There have been some complications, but he is stable now and waiting for bypass surgery next week sometime. Please pray for peace for him and his family, for no further complications, skill for the surgeons, successful surgery and recovery.
We are so grateful for your powerful intercession!!
