Praises, travel mercies:
Lillian Shank offered praises for Doug's knee, now completely healed. Doug and Lillian thank everyone who prayed for his recovery.
Valerie Dinwiddie is back from the family vacation, and her parents stayed healthy all week. Praises all around.
Craig Kramer asked for travel mercies for Eileen and their daughter Laura, heading back to college this week.
Kim Glasoe praised the Holy Spirit for leading a coworker to accept Christ through him. Jim Church was to have come to the late service this past Sunday.
Jim McManamey offered thanks and praises to everyone who helped get the youth supper going last week. Eileen Kramer got everyone organized, and Mike Benfield paid for the pizza. (If you feel led, pitch a few bucks at Mike or Eileen; our class had offered to help with this supper, and then we forgot to bring it up last week.)
We had two couples as guests this Sunday: Don and Sandy Carmichael, and John and Sheila Webb. Thanks for visiting!
We offer praise in advance for anyone stepping forward with snacks for the next two weeks. We have folks signed up for 9/20 (McManameys); 9/27 (Kramers); and 10/4 (the Pierces), but no one for 9/6 or 9/13.
Prayers:
Rhonda Pierce asked for prayers for a friend of her niece, who has just been diagnosed with leukemia, and the doctors believe it may be fatal. Please pray for strength for the friend and her family, and for God's will.
Lisa Glasoe mentioned her father, suffering from a kidney infection.
Patty Tucker asked for her niece, Amber Lewis (who's been on this list before). She's gone back to Johns Hopkins to have more masses surgically removed.
Don't forget to pray for AWANA! Open House is this Wednesday. Please pray that we look like we are ready, says Heather Zerkle. Eric mentioned that two male leaders had stepped forward this Sunday. We also will be looking for help in building the AWANA circle for games this coming weekend.
Larry Springer asked for prayers for his wife, Nora. She has regressed in her bipolar disorder, apparently having halved her medical regimen and needing to get back on her medication. Larry also mentioned he'd suffered bee stings and lots of ticks this past week.
The Kramers asked for prayers for a family from their former church -- the Torreses are having trouble.
Anita Hampton said her doctor had recommended a hysterectomy; she will know a date within the next two weeks. Please keep praying for a positive result.
Cathy Clement asked for prayers for her brother-in-law, Chris Oler, battling diabetes and spikes in his blood sugar. This week he will be having his gall bladder removed.
Rod Davis mentioned the "See You at the Pole" rally, Sept. 23; an adult version of this youth rally is to be held at the Prince William County Complex (on the Prince William County Parkway) at 7 a.m. on Wednesday 9/23. The rally will offer prayer; the scripture theme is Psalms 80:3: "O God, restore us, And cause Thy face to shine upon us, and we will be saved." [I couldn't locate a Web resource for this event; Pastor Doug may have more information.]
Jim McManamey also reminded us about the Truth Project group that will be meeting on Friday evenings in their home.
Let's not forget to keep praying 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.
