Praises, travel mercies:
Everyone will be traveling back from Thanksgiving visits with family. We pray for travel mercies for our church family and neighbors, that everyone gets home safe and without incident.
Pastor and Deb are on their way back home; Doug's mother is stable in his sister's home in Chattanooga, and will soon begin physical therapy rehab for her hip fracture.
John and Lydia Flowers had JK's fiancee, Crystal Pugh, come for an introductory visit. All went well...
Prayers:
Please keep praying for Doug's mom's long-term recovery. She has damage to her liver, and maintaining liver function will be a problem.
Larry Springer asked for prayers for Nora, his wife. She has been admitted for mental illness and will have a hearing on Monday. On the positive side, Larry reports she has participated willingly in her therapy, which is a good sign. He is looking forward to Nora getting her medication adjustment and a gradual recovery. Pray for both Nora and Larry.
Please keep Phil Ridgway in your prayers for his continuing job search.
This Thanksgiving we are especially thankful for the troops defending us overseas, putting themselves in harm's way to protect our freedoms. We remember their sacrifice and pray for their safe return, and for the health and well-being of their families. Please don't forget that they sacrifice so much to serve our country and protect all of us.
Please keep praying for all the needs in our church, and for God's will to continue to be manifest in what our Potomac Crest church community does.
A SPECIAL NOTE: I sent out a note a couple of weeks ago, asking if you wanted me to keep you on this prayer request list even if you are not in this particular Sunday School class. One or two of you have asked to be removed, but others have asked to be kept on. So I will keep you on the mailing list unless you tell me otherwise. And if someone from the other groups wants to add prayer requests you can mail me, or start your own mail list, or add to the blog. Please let me know if someone wants to do any of the above things. As I said before, it's no additional effort to include you; just a few extra electrons. I'd rather, however, meet our prayer needs, and not just clog up your email.

By the Book Sunday School Class: Prayer Requests for Sunday 11/15/09
A SPECIAL NOTE: We've been doing this prayer request list for a while, and since we started we split our Sunday School class into three groups. We hope our groups will all grow and flourish. However, we're not getting prayer requests out for two-thirds of you, and two-thirds of you may just be deleting this message before reading it [In which case, as Cathy reminds me, you won't be reading this message either... :-)]. Anyhow, please let me (John C.) know a) whether you want to continue receiving this message, b) whether you'd like to contribute prayer requests.
It's no additional effort to include you, mind you; just a few extra electrons. I'd rather, however, meet our prayer needs, and not just clog up your email.
Praises, travel mercies:
Cathy Clement is back from a weekend trip to visit her daughter in Alabama. She was missed.
Rhonda Pierce has become a great aunt! Her niece Kristyn gave birth last week to a baby boy.
Prayers:
We've all heard that Pastor Doug's mom is suffering from liver failure and having trouble recovering from a broken hip. They have now got her stabilized and are driving her back from Florida to Tennessee to be cared for by his sister. It may be a couple of weeks yet before Doug and Deb feel they can return. We are praying for the family and for better health for Doug's mother.
Phil Ridgway is continuing a job search. The contract he's working on is ending, and he may be laid off. He has prospects, but some of them may require that they move. Please pray for success in his job search; Sue asks that God place them where He wants them to be. Also pray for Phil's brother-in-law, now in his fourth month of unemployment in the Newport News area...
John Flowers' court case, continued to November 18, involving a home contractor. We pray for a fair disposition.
The McManameys'son-in-law John is still looking for an employment opportunity that will bring in enough income to support his family.
Please keep praying for all the needs in our church, and for God's will to continue to be manifest in what our Potomac Crest church community does.

Praises, travel mercies:
The Health Fair last Saturday was a success. Praise to the Women's Ministry for organizing this event. Many people registered for the Bone Marrow database, hoping to help Bill Rickard find a match for a needed bone marrow transplant.
The McManamey's grandson Ryan is making a strong recovery from his accident; he is back in school, and his eyes are recovering; he is expected to make a full recovery.

Please continue to keep Larry Springer and his wife Nora in your prayers. Her condition has not improved.

Praises, travel mercies:
Friday night Harvest Festival was very well attended and, by all accounts, a huge success! Thanks very much to all who helped, especially Cathy Clement (who got roped into this upon John getting the flu -- the swine!) and the rest of the group who set up, cleaned up, staffed the booths and stands, made chili and cooked hot dogs, and donated baked goods.
John and Lydia Flowers are back from their cruise; John allowed it had been 28 years since they were able to spend any significant time alone together. They had a wonderful time!
Valerie says her family is doing better, dealing with the death of her father Fred Castle.
Prayers:
The McManamey extended family are going through a very rough patch. Granddaughter Tory was abused for the past two years by her biological father, Tara's ex-husband. Son-in-law Judd is battling anger issues, and Tory and Tara will have to testify this Monday in New York. Meanwhile, son John is still trying to find a job or to increase his income. And grandson Ryan was injured Saturday at a church social -- a misfiring game led to him being hit in the face, breaking two bones and swelling his eyes shut. He's in a lot of pain. We pray for everyone.
The Health Fair is on Saturday Nov. 7. One of the activities will be a bone marrow screening, to see if a compatible donor can be found for a transplant for Eileen Kramer's brother. Only need a cheek swab, but you do have to be between 18-60 years of age.
Please continue to keep Larry Springer and his wife Nora in your prayers. Her condition has not improved.
Events:
Our class has been asked to provide a basket as a door prize for the Health Fair, and we thank Claudia McManamey for putting together a Christmas -movie-themed basket, with two or three movies, some popcorn, and the makings for cider. Those of us who want to help cover the cost should let Claudia know.
