Praises, travel mercies:
John Flowers said he had talked again with JK, in training and already doing counseling on his mission trip to Johannesburg, South Africa. John and Lydia are on travel next week, to a wedding in Connecticut; pray for travel mercies.
Also traveling: Doug and Lillian Shank's youngest daughter Sarah, on her way back from Mississippi with her aunt.
Also TJ Wheeler had to travel to Washington state this week to deal with a death in her family. She should be returning early this week. We know Andy and Sean miss her.
Claudia McManamey gave thanks: their newest grandson Oliver passed his hearing tests with no problems. She also mentioned their son-in-law Judd, who retired from the Marines this week; he gave a very moving retirement speech, Claudia said, about keeping your promises to the Lord.
Anita Hampton offered a huge praise for her sister Lisa Qualls, who had a successful radio interview on the new book on a late-night show this past week. She also gave praises for Lisa's husband Phillip, who got on the phone and arranged for the interview.
Cathy Clement offered thanks for a colleague at work -- Tracy had surgery for fibroids this past week, and is feeling much better. Also, John Flowers offered thanks; he had been suffering knee pains, and has had much relief this past week.
Valerie Dinwiddie offered thanks for her father. He saw his lung specialist a couple of weeks ago, and lungs still sound clear. He saw his cardiologist this past week, and his heart is keeping rhythm, BP is good. The next day he saw his oncologist: the cancer is not growing at this time and there is no need for chemotherapy. He does have trouble breathing when he exerts himself in any way. Hopefully, with all this good news and the removal of the fluid in his legs, he will be able to regain some of his mobility and strength and his appetite.
Prayers:
Heather and Eric Zerkle asked for prayers for a family friend, Kathy Saunders. She had been diagnosed with colorectal cancer, but it has now been found to have spread to her lungs and liver. She is not saved; please pray for salvation, for God's will in healing and for her family.
Don Marks (plays the trombone in the early service praise team) asked that we put his wife Surina on our prayer list; she will have knee surgery this week for a torn meniscus. As this heals it may also help with the severe back pain she has been suffering.
Jim and Claudia McManamey asked for prayers for their daughter-in-law Kim; she had a sonogram of a lump in her throat, and either surgery or radiation therapy may be needed. With four children (including new baby Oliver), the family needs prayer and support.
Anita Hampton asked that we keep her in our prayers. She had a bad scare this week, with severe abdominal pains; appendicitis had been suspected, but it turned out that she has fibroid cysts. She has an ob-gyn specialist appointment on Tuesday, and a hysterectomy seems very likely.
We are also praying for Morgan Ellis and Jeremi (another member of the praise team). She is expecting soon, and has already shown signs of wanting to have Dakota arrive. She's back from the hospital, but they are keeping a close watch on mother and child.
Please keep praying for this year's AWANA program at PCBC. There is still need for help in the Puggles program (3-4 year-olds) and the Cubbies (the next group up). There is also a need for men to volunteer for the boys in the T&T program (grades 3-6). TJ Wheeler says they also need volunteers to work registration and for the open house on September 2nd and for Wednesdays in September as kids come to join us.
Let's not forget to pray for the needs of 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.
Don't forget, we are still collecting Bibles and Christian books to send to India to the IBL. And we're collecting for Sunday School supplies for the new classrooms -- any spare change will help.

By the Book Sunday School Class: Prayer Requests for Sunday 7/19/09
Praises, travel mercies:
John Flowers said he had talked with his son JK, arrived in Johannesburg, South Africa on his mission trip. His training started this past Saturday.
The youth are back safe from camp at the Master's Inn. No one ws hurt or sick, so we give praise for a successful week.
Patty Tucker reports her friend Sherry Robertson (who lost a pair of twins very recently) is back to working with children and appears to be coping far better than expected. More thankful prayers.
Claudia McManamey mentioned her granddaughter Kathryn did not, after all, have mononucleosis, and left on her mission trip to Mexico. They will be building houses at some of the workers' encampments at the maquiladoras on the border.
Prayers:
Mike and Tonia Benfield asked for prayer for Aaron Tweedy, a local coach, and his children. His wife died this past week in an automobile accident, leaving Aaron and three small children behind.
Eileen Kramer asked for continuing prayer for her brother, Bill; his blood count is still puzzling and concerning his doctors.
Patty Tucker asked for continued prayers for her niece Amber Lewis, in Surgical ICU after some very difficult surgery. There were multiple blood sacs and fluid in her abdominal cavity. She was very close to leaving us Thursday night and Patty thanks everyone for their prayers. Amber still has high fever, and there are a lot of unanswered questions about her situation. We still need prayer for Amber's recovery and for family tension and anger as well.
Leanne and Bob Gillespie asked for prayers for their daughter; she is pregnant and due to deliver around August 9th, but her blood pressure spiked up last night to 168/89, and they are very concerned for both mother and child.
Kim Glasoe asked for prayers for his friend Dave Lance, battling throat cancer. He is very sick after chemotherapy.
Susan Fitzhugh asked for prayers for Phillip Ridgeway, on a sport bike ride to the mid-Ohio races with a group from the area. One of the party members already totalled his bike. They will be coming back Monday evening; pray for a safe return.
The McManamey's newest grandson, Oliver, did OK at his two-week checkup; his hearing test will be in a few weeks.
Please pray for Dorothy Barg, a member of our church. Her daughter Nancy Farischon said her mother has been taken to Potomac Hospital with extreme pain in her leg and foot. Nancy is out of state and asks for the prayers of her church family and friends.
Valerie Dinwiddie mentioned her father. He is doing well at present; he sees his cardiologist and oncologist this week. The cardiologist will decide if he can stand another round of therapy for his lung, and his oncologist will check to see if the tumor has grown and what therapy is needed.
Please be in prayer for this year's AWANA program at PCBC. Adult training began yesterday; there is still need for help in the Puggles program (3-4 year-olds) and the Cubbies (the next group up). There is also a need for men to volunteer for the boys in the T&T program (grades 3-6). Eric Zerkle said there have been many volunteers, but the program still needs more.

By the Book Sunday School Class: Prayer Requests for Sunday 7/12/09
Praises, travel mercies:
JK Flowers left this Sunday on his mission trip to Johannesburg, South Africa. We wish him a wonderful, transforming experience and will all be praying for him.
The youth are back on the road again -- this time to camp at the Master's Inn (for, I believe, a week). Please pray for travel mercies and a safe and meaningful retreat for them all.
Also on the road: Tonia Benfield and daughters Katie-Lynn and Abigail, on their way back from Texas.
Visitors to our class: Steve and Laura Terrell, welcome.
The Zerkles offered praises -- they have a tenant for their house in Arizona, and with a two-year lease!
Anita Hampton and Lisa Qualls offered praises for Phillip Qualls' birthday, and his brother Tyrone Qualls' as well, this week. Cathy and John Clement's second wedding anniversary on the 14th.
Prayers:
Eileen Kramer asked for prayer for her brother, Bill; his blood count has been declining, and doctors are very concerned.
Eric Zerkle asked for prayers; he had an eye examination appointment scheduled for Monday.
Patty Tucker asked for prayers for her family friend, Shari Robertson;
both twins were born very premature (they were due in October), and died shortly after birth. Please pray for the family.
Patty also asked for prayers for her niece Amber Lewis, hospitalized with a large mass in her abdomen. She was being transferred to the Women's Surgical Unit at Holy Cross Hospital Monday afternoon so she can be evaluated.
Angie Blanton asked for continued prayers for her father, recovering from prostatectomy. No sign of any cancer in the biopsy results.
Phil Ridgeway asked for prayers for his brother Marty, suffering from clinical depression.
John Clement asked folks to pray for the good friend of a coworker -- she was diagnosed with breast cancer, and was going in for exploratory surgery this Monday. Doctors think it is not the most aggressive kind of cancer.
Claudia and Jim McManamey asked for prayers for their newest grandson, Oliver. He failed his first hearing test (not very unusual at two weeks of age, but still worrisome). He will have to be reevaluated in a few weeks. Claudia also asked for prayers for another granddaughter -- she was due to leave this week on a mission trip to Mexico, but may have come down with mononucleosis.
