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.
