By the Book Prayer Requests for Sunday 3/28/2010

Praises:
Larry Springer offered praises for his son-in-law, a pastor. He has been accepted to Duke Divinity School, in their doctoral program.
Gail Ryder offered praises -- she has been accepted into a mortgage loan modification program that will lower her payments for five years and then has a low adjustable ceiling.

Prayers, travel mercies:
Gail's daughter Raven left this week on a college tour. We pray for travel mercies and for her to find a college she likes.
John Flowers asked for prayers for sanity in the household as the date of JK's wedding gets closer.
We pray for Heather Zerkle's sister -- she has cancer but no clear diagnosis yet, and no path forward for treatment. Heather asks for prayers for diagnosis and a complete cure, in faith that God can do this.
We continue to pray for Claudia McManamey, who has now been home for going on four weeks. Jim and family are still trying to solve the problem of getting her out of the house as necessary, for appointments, in case of emergency, and just for her sanity as she continues to recover. Stair lifts are back under consideration. You can, as always, read the latest update and show your support at: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/claudiamcmanamey . Please leave a note if you visit the site.
We are in prayer for the Talbots (Kevin and Debbie plus two); they are moving on Saturday April 3 and need help loading and unloading. We pray for stability in their finances.
We are knee-deep into planning and preparing for Vacation Bible School, in late June. Please be in prayer about VBS and consider how you might be able to turn your talents to helping...
We continue to remember and pray for the people suffering in Haiti, and also in Chile. Also, don't forget that we are still collecting for the Annie Armstrong fund.
Please pray for guidance and wisdom as our church looks for the Lord to tell us what we as a church need to do next.
And don't forget: next Friday is Good Friday, and Sunday is Easter Sunday: Sunrise Service will be at 7 a.m. and there will be a potluck breakfast afterward, and then 8:30 a.m service, Sunday School and the 11 a.m. service.
We will be offering, again, van conveyance to Sunday School and the 11 o'clock service from Fitzgerald Elementary, thanks to the Payne's loan of their van.
