He's on a trip from their home in Florida to visit family in Indiana with his son Kyle, and we're all praying for their safe return and Chris to see a doctor for treatment.
Let's not forget to pray for people in economic distress in our own church and neighborhoods. Also, please keep praying for the whole church, the leadership, and for God's will in all the many projects we are undertaking.
