Please pray for our church

We are in a small town in Illinois, and we have had several families leave for "greener pastures". Yet another family left this week, leaving my family in the lurch as the sole source of music. We do not see how we can possibly carry this due to my work schedule, and we are no longer that young - our voices can't take it like we used to. We have two daughers to help us, but that also puts a burden on them that seems very unfair. Our poor pastor and the rest of the saints have been left reeling with no answers. The sad thing is that of everyone that has left, only a few even had enough fortitude to discuss with the pastor and staff what was going on. This last family just left a message on the church answering machine that they are not coming back. Please pray for our church and for the strength of the saints.

Apparently they felt like they were not appreciated enough. IT is over and we have moved on....
