9 February 2011 - Special Prayer Requests

Healing

Hal Campbell will be undergoing surgery for a cancerous lesion on the inside of his cheek and the associated lymph node. Hal’s family asks that you pray for God’s help for the surgical team, a successful surgery and rapid recovery.

Jason Gillis has a foot infection which has resulted in hospitalization for IV antibiotics. Please pray for his complete and rapid recovery.

Judith Clingwall, afflicted with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), suffered a major setback in her coping with the disease. She is currently in a extended care facility. Please pray for her strength, peace of mind, trust in God and remission of the disease so she might return home to her family. Pray also for strength for her husband Martin as he deals with all the problems and stress of Judith’s situation.

Thanksgiving

Kurt Thomas (USN – Afghanistan FOB), returned from deployment to Afghanistan this week. He and his family give thanks for a safe return.

Jack Royce gives thanks for recovering from the elbow injury as the result of a fall on snow and ice. An MRI of his elbow showed the break originally seen on X Rays was actually an old break he never knew happened (he is tough). On the other hand they told him he has “mice” in his elbow. These are little bits of cartilage that broke off but there’s no use operating to try to pin them back in place because as soon as a person is under anesthesia, the bits hide in the muscle. Perhaps why they’re called “mice” and fortunately not “cockroaches”, a PR thing. All is well now and he is thankful, as is the rest of his family.

Nancy Graham gives thanks for answered prayers.

Mike and Annie Springer give thanks for finding a new and permanent home. We give thanks as a congregation that they will be staying with us rather than moving to the Midwest!
