Praises:
John Flowers mentioned his son JK, who has graduated from his program in counseling and is engaged! Ms. Crystal Pough is his intended bride, and she has just met the family. JK will be going on a mission trip; please keep him in your prayers as he tries to round up the funds he will need.
He will be returning to the area (and to Potomac Crest) very shortly.
Travel mercies for Rhonda Pierce's husband, on the road this week.
Saturday was very busy at PCBC. Praises for: the youth's yard sale, which raised over $700; the 2nd Annual 90-in-90 motorcycle ride, with fourteen bikes and good weather; and both softball teams hard at play.
Prayers:
One of our church members, Tonja Reynolds, had a serious car accident on Tuesday evening, and is in Inova Fairfax with a broken collarbone, a bruised hip and other injuries. She was fortunate it wasn't worse; she is estimated to have to be in the hospital for two weeks. Please pray for her recovery.
Valerie Dinwiddie asked for prayers for her dad's healing. In addition to congestive pulmonary disease and his recovery from lung cancer, he has now been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. His doctors are trying to decide what medicine he can take.
Claudia McManamey is facing shoulder surgery this coming Friday. She was not feeling well this morning, as though a cold was coming on. We pray she will not have to postpone the surgery; she is in considerable pain.
Also, for the McManamey's grandson Ryan -- his brother said he has been "sick, then not sick, then sick again" for a while, and asked that we pray for his healing.
Please pray for our VBS effort (Vacation Bible School). A lot of positions are filled, but we still need more workers, and we also need a way to feed them, and nursery help. In a related vein, the last meeting of AWANA for the year was this Wednesday, and Sunday May 31 at 4 p.m. is the awards ceremony. Please consider attending and supporting this effort; we registered 109 children, of which 75 or so attend every week.
Please continue to keep Hannibal Carver (Angie Blanton's dad) in your prayers; he is facing surgery to remove his prostate for cancer. Pray for success in treatment. Also, the Blanton's son Jacob is still suffering with headaches (for a month now) and is now scheduled to see a pediatric neurologist in early June.
Lillian Shank mentioned that her mother, Colleen Crocker, is now out of the hospital and recovering at home. Please pray for Lillian's mom and dad.
Let's not forget to pray for people in economic distress right in our own neighborhoods. Also, please keep praying for the whole church, the leadership, and for God's will in all the many projects we are undertaking.
Announcements: The Mission ministry has asked if each Sunday School class will take one night's meals at the Hilda Barg shelter in early June. More details soon. I think our class have Tuesday June 9. If anyone is up for helping with this task, please get in touch with John Clement at john.clement@ed.gov or 202-270-6669.
And don't forget, we are still collecting Bibles and Christian books to send to India to the IBL.
