Prayer request from Jim Harvey:

We have just received word that Mark Eads father is quite ill and needs prayer, along with Mark and his family. We pray for healing, and for strength and grace, during this time of tribulation for the Eads family.

New BLOG!

We just moved our blog to http://www.medinaumc.org/blog.  We are still with WordPress, but just became a self hosted WordPress sight.  This means that we will be able to post a lot more media (Pictures and Videos) without worrying about space!
