As a concern becomes 3 weeks old it will drop off our list. You may call the office and place the concern for another 3-week cycle. Dated events will drop off the day after the event, i.e. surgeries, doctor appointments, tests. We will drop and add other items to help shorten your Daily Broadcast as needed.
If you request special prayer, PLEASE contact the Church Office (502-239-8405 or email FCUMC@ferncreekumc.org) to update or to remove someone from the list. Thank you.
