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.
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.
