A request for help: Our class has committed to serving dinner at the Hilda Barg homeless shelter on Monday, June 7, as part of PCBC's commitment to a week of serving dinners. We are planning an Italian dinner, with baked ziti (Phil Ridgway), lasagna (the Clements), a green salad, broccoli and garlic bread, and strawberry shortcake for dessert. Please help prepare and/or serve, if you have the time. Let John Clement know if you can help; families are especially welcome. We begin prepping by 6 p.m.; dinner is at 7 sharp, and cleanup must be done by 8 p.m.
Praises, travel mercies:
We welcome back Helen Ruth and Dwight Lyons, visiting Potomac Crest and our class for the second week.
Prayers:
We continue to pray for Claudia McManamey, who has now been home for going on twelve weeks and is continuing her recovery. She has now come to the 11 a.m. service for the third week in a row! James is hoping that they will be able to come to Sunday School as well soon. You can, as always, visit read Jim's latest update on their journal and show your support at: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/claudiamcmanamey.
We ask prayers for a friend of Cathy's family -- her sister's supervisor, James Walden, diagnosed with cancer.
Rhonda Pierce asks for continued prayers for her daughter, who is about to give birth this coming weekend, and is still thinking of giving up the child for adoption.
Sue Fitzhugh asked for prayers for her daughter Stacy, still in some confusion about what to do with herself this summer. She needs to find a job with a veterinary clinic before she starts veterinary school in the fall; but she is also considering going to visit her boyfriend for the summer.
John Clement asks for prayers for his son Jay. He is at a rehabilitation center for alcohol addiction, and is badly in need of prayer and support for the struggle he has ahead of him. His marriage, health, and possible future work are all at risk. We ask for prayers for the family's support and for his recognition of his need to dedicate himself to his recovery. John will travel to visit his son on Monday, and hopes to witness to the effect of faith in the Lord in his own life; please pray for the Holy Spirit to guide John's voice.
Please keep Phillip's sister Candy and her husband Donnie in your prayers. Candy has been diagnosed as having a torn ACL from falling while getting on a motorcycle, and Donnie had a seizure and has been diagnosed with cavernoma, a brain defect that can lead to aneurysms but can be treated with medication. Because of the seizure, Donnie may not be able to drive for 6 months which will drive him crazy.
Please continue to keep the Bolton family in your prayers. We also need prayers and support for Tom Carlson, who has taken over the leadership of the Youth Ministry until more permanent plans can be made. We pray that the church family members will step forward to help and support Tom and the youth, and Pastor Doug, in this difficult transition.
Other ongoing requests: Lydia Flowers and Heather Zerkle, and other volunteers, are 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 and trying to rebuild in Haiti.
