 PRAYER REQUESTS

 
  • Special prayers for those who will be without their mothers for the first time on Mother's Day and for those for whom this is a hard day to experience.
            
  • Barry Hutton's mother was told that she has, not one, but four malfunctioning heart valves.  Continue to pray for this family as they spend time together and prepare for her passing.
            
  • Reva Thornton has bronchitis and an upper respiratory infection.  The pulmonologist gave her a penicillin shot and put her on antibiotics.
            
  • Michelle Kanatzar goes to the spine surgeon Friday.  Her arms are numb from the elbows down and her upper arms and neck are in excruciating pain.  She is unable to work, which means no income for now.
             
  • Terra Russell has developed lymphedima from the removal of lymph nodes when they did her mastectomy.  The doctor believes that it is treatable.  She will have to wear a support stocking on her arm and limit certain activities involving that arm.
            
  • Katherine Corcoran's sister Peggy has mental problems and is not doing well.
            
  • Sabrina McHugh has to lose 40 pounds before they will move forward with her gender reassignment surgery.

  • Peggy Jamison is very ill with an upper respiratory infection.
            
  • Silent concerns
  • UPDATE FROM REV. DELORES BERRY

    It has been six months since my accident and every time I think I am getting well I fall back in the hole.  I feel better for 4 days, seldom more than, I return to pain that feels like someone is scraping my bones with a broken glass bottle.  the pain radiates throughout my lower back, hips and legs.

    In six months time I have battled more than 8 infections, spent some 63 days all total in the hospital and countless hours in doctor offices.  I have wanted for months to send you wonderful news.  I have for months wanted to tell you how a person of  faith endures something like this.  I wanted to encourage you and make you smile.  All I can tell you is that I just keep breathing.  I make myself breathe.  Judy makes me breathe.  Her focus has been going beyond her own physical health to pull me through. 

    The reason you haven't heard from me is that I haven't heard from myself.  We need your help and prayers.

from Tina Baker ~
My Grandmother passed away.  My mother and I are recovering the loss, which is eased because we had Grandmother with us in life for 92 years and 4 days, before she went to be with the Lord.  Mother also has no active cancer in her body at this time.  We thank God for a great healing touch and pray for others who need healing.   tina1storm@yahoo.com
