We had two responses this past Sunday morning. P.J. Duncan came forward seeking prayers. He told John
Bowling that he wanted to be a better Christian, husband, and father. Katy Alford also came forward seeking
prayers and encouragement. She says “I have allowed the negativity of the world around me to get the best of
me.” P.J., Katy, and their families have been a tremendous part of this congregation for years. They mean so
much to so many people, so we know that you as congregation will continue to pray for them!
Katy and her mother, Tammy.
