Praises, travel mercies:
John Flowers is traveling this week. So is Phil Ridgeway, to St. Petersburg in Florida.
Prayers:
We continue to pray for Claudia McManamey, recovering from Guillain-Barre Syndrome. [She's at Mt. Vernon hospital, room 523.] She has two more weeks at Mt. Vernon, and then the family will have to move her to another rehabilitation facility. Her recovery proceeds, but she still has a long way to go. Jim says her spirits are high, however.
Heather Zerkle asked us to pray for her twin sister, Shannon Vanderpool. In Heather's own words: "She has had some symptoms for a while and went to the Dr. today for a mammogram. After the mammogram they asked her to stay and have an ultrasound. The results of the ultrasound were that they found a mass in the breast 5cm that was in the direction of the armpit. They have ruled out a cyst and infection and have scheduled her for a biopsy on Tues with the results to be back on Friday. She left the ultrasound and went to her Dr. who basically said she wished she could tell her it was nothing but “it was what it was” and that if it were her she would go have a drink to try and not to think about it. My sister said I don’t drink and she said I am sorry we will know what we are facing on Friday. To add to this many of you know my nephew has OCD and today was his last appt with his Dr. and the last day of his meds. He has been trying to get off his meds for a long time and I pray this doesn’t set him back; one of his fears is my sister dying. My sister is choosing not to tell them anything until she knows more. Please join me in prayer for my sister, husband Jason, nephew Tanner, niece Tatum, my mom, Mary. Please pray that the Great Physician heals her body from head to toe and that when they do the biopsy the Drs stand in awe at His mighty hands and that she feels his loving arms surrounding her. Thank you so much."
Rhonda Pierce mentioned a coworker, 45, who has recently had a heart attack and two strokes. She also asked for prayers for her daughter, who is still having a rough time.
Cathy Clement asked for prayers for her sister Rhonda and Rhonda's daughter Rebecca, 17. Mother and daughter are having fights and not talking to one another. Pray for guidance and wisdom for both.
Some repeats from last week -- still worth praying about.
We continue to ask for prayers for Gene Cox, a leader in the Men's Ministry. He has been diagnosed with a brain aneurysm (in his lower brain), which doctors now believe to be inoperable; but the prognosis is somewhat positive, in that people live for many years with aneurysms in this location. Pray for the Son to lift his spirits.
Gail Ryder asked for prayers for her family.
We also pray for the men's ministry. They will need support, since both Gene Cox and Jon Pacella are having to cede the leadership for at least a time. Please be in prayer for this ministry at PCBC.
Please also 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 to serve.

Praises, travel mercies:
We ask for a successful trip for the youth, off to the Youth Evangelism Conference at Virginia Beach with Jason and Becky. Travel mercies for all our other travelers, including Phil Ridgeway and Sue Fitzhugh, catching up on some time together.
Prayers:
We continue to pray for Claudia McManamey, recovering from Guillaume-Barre Syndrome. [She's at Mt. Vernon hospital, room 523.] The family and doctors had a meeting on Monday. Jim and son Judd were hoping for an honest discussion of her issues and prospects, to be able to keep her at Mt. Vernon; pray for uplift for Claudia's spirits, and for the whole family.

As we said last week: we need prayer warriors to go to work for Doug. 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. And Doug's brother, who lost his job because seizures (due to an accident) made it impossible for him to drive; and others in the family with house fires...
In fact, we see signs of spiritual warfare all around us. We urge all of us to be vigilant and pray to stay the course in the face of all the obstacles. Don't be discouraged: the battle will be won in the end.

Prayers:
Phil Ridgway writes: "Please pray that God's will be done with respect to my job hunting. I received a phone call on Friday from the Marine Corps at Quantico. They want to interview me on Monday for a possition down there. It would surely shorten my commute and may be a job with more security. Please pray that if it is God's will that I get the job and the compensation is enough to care for my family."
We ask all to pray for Gene Cox, a leader in the Men's Ministry. He has been diagnosed with a brain aneurysm, and doctors are trying to locate a surgeon who will operate on him.
Claudia McManamey is at Mt. Vernon rehabilitation center (Room 523), recovering from Guillaume-Barre syndrome (GBS). Jim again stopped by the class on Sunday to ask for continuing prayers. Doctors expect her to make a full recovery, but things go slowly and she has intensive physical therapy. Please pray for recovery and for strength for Jim and their family.
Jim also mentioned Claudia's roommate at the hospital, the victim of a serious car accident.
John Flowers asked us to pray for his mother. In addition to her increasing dementia, she is now at a rehabilitation facility in Houston with a broken foot that is proving hard to heal. Her sister is at the same facility, going into hospice care for leukemia. The family needs prayer, and strength to help all face the sisters' situation.
Cathy and John Clement mentioned a decision they may be facing about where to live: their Woodbridge tenant is deciding whether to move out (he has doubts about the deal he has been working on) and so we don't know what to do about selling the Fairfax house. We pray for God's guidance and obedience to His will.
Nora, Larry Springer's wife, continues to struggle with mental illness. She continues to show some positive signs but is at times withdrawn and unwilling to interact, even with close family. We pray for Nora and for Larry.
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. And Doug's brother, who lost his job because seizures (due to an accident) made it impossible for him to drive; and others in the family with house fires...

Praises, travel mercies:
People are back from travel, and everyone appears to have gone and returned safely.
We welcomed the Players, visiting our class. They wanted to know how our classes formed; we had never had to explain the process we underwent. I described our class as "we're the leftovers."
Phil Ridgway has applied for a job with the Veterans Administration; it sounds like a perfect fit for him. Praise, and prayers for God's will to be manifest for him.
JK Flowers, Jr., in our class for Sunday before heading back to the Norfolk area and back to work. He and his fiancee will be getting married in April in Savannah.
Prayers:
Claudia McManamey is at Mt. Vernon rehabilitation center, recovering from Guillaume-Barre syndrome. Jim stopped by the class on Sunday to ask for continuing prayers. Doctors expect her to make a full recovery, but right now she cannot walk and has trouble swallowing. Pray for recovery and for strength for Jim and their family.
Cathy Clement's brother, R.L. Smith, is applying for a job with the Forest Service. He has made a living as a surveyor, but times are tough and a steady job with a regular paycheck would really help. We ask for prayers for him. Also, don't forget Phil Ridgway's application with the VA (see above).
Larry Springer mentioned that Nora, his wife, is still struggling with mental illness. Doctors have increased her medication dosage. She shows some positive signs but is at times withdrawn and unwilling to interact, even with close family. We pray for Nora and for Larry.
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.
