Among our local and global community:

• We join the wider church community among the Northern Lights (Disciples of Christ) Region and in Yakima in lifting up the friends and family of Kathy Helseth, who passed away after nearly a year-long battle with brain cancer on February 7th. Bill Poores, a current FCC Tacoma elder, grew close with the Helseths during his time of ministry with them at Yakima Christian Church and in his proximity to them throughout the Region. Please join me in praying for Kathy's husband, David, her two sons, Bill, and all who grieve for her. Let us thank God for the life of Kathy Helseth, comforted by the knowledge that she now rests free from pain in the arms of her Creator.

   

If you'd like to share a prayer joy or concern, please contact Pastor Doug at doug@fcctacoma.org or by calling the church office. Please indicate whether your prayer is to be shared publicly or if you'd like it to be kept private.
