Praises, travel mercies:
Pastor Doug is traveling to Tennessee this week, and will be away next Sunday. Should be back on Monday August 2.
JK Flowers and new wife Crystal are traveling to Switzerland on vacation...
Becky Bolton came to our class this Sunday. It was so good to see her! She said things are going well for the family under the circumstances, that she has been able to witness and she is about to finish her first semester of nursing school.
Heather Zerkle is back home, out of the hospital and recovering. She was in church today.
Also, Jay Clement (John's son) attended our class today.
Prayer requests, announcements:
Don't forget the Mother-Daughter tea next Saturday July 31 from 2-4 p.m. at the church. The theme is Royalty. Please do attend, even if you are not a mother or have easy access to mother or daughter.
Also, remember we are planning for a potluck dinner on Saturday August 7th at the Flowers home.
Rhonda Pierce asked for prayers for herself and for her daughter Britney. For herself -- she is facing difficult decisions at her work; for her daughter, she asks prayers for maturity and growth, and for God to make his will clear to her.
John Flowers reported back on their visit to JK and Crystal. He attended the church they have joined, and it is involved in a new church planting; John asked for prayers for JK and Crystal's church, for God's will and for the Word to reach many souls.
As always, we continue to pray for Claudia McManamey; for Gail Bird-Ryder and Raven; for John Clement's son Jay; for Phil Ridgway's brother, nephew, and his father; and for Larry Springer and Winnie Cooper's full recovery.
And, of course, we continue to remember and pray for the people suffering and trying to rebuild in Haiti.

Praises, travel mercies:
Cathy Clement said farewell to her daughter Veronica, going back to Fairhope, Alabama after a week's visit. And Jay Clement, John's son, is back in Fairfax, to stay -- we hope -- for a few weeks.
Phil Ridgway's dad, Randy, came to church today, and joined our Sunday School class. Welcome, and do come back. Meanwhile, travel mercies for Sue; she and a daughter are driving back from Florida tomorrow, having picked up some furniture and objects from her parents.
Also, Phil starts his new job tomorrow, after a number of delays. And (as we've mentioned before) he's been trying to clean and fix up the house his brother recently vacated. This weekend some friends (and his father) showed up with a paint sprayer, and they cleaned and painted two whole rooms. Praise and thanks!
Prayers:
We ask for special prayers for the Boltons. The family is facing troubles, and needs our prayers.
Gail Bird-Ryder asked for prayers for herself (personal issues) and her daughter Raven's pain management.
Larry Springer asked for prayers for his daughter's in-laws, especially her father-in-law Bill; he's suffering from angina, and there will be exams this week that may end up in a stent or surgery.
Heather Zerkle is in the hospital, with what doctors believe may be meningitis (although other things are still being ruled out). Eric reports her headaches and shoulder pains are a little lessened; we pray for doctors' discernment and a full recovery.
Phil Ridgway asked for prayers for his brother Marty, now moved to Arizona but very depressed and not seeing his way forward. Phil asks for prayers that God may work in his life; also Marty's son Josh, living out of his car in Tucson.
As always, we continue to pray for Claudia McManamey, for John Clement's son Jay, and for Larry Springer and Winnie Cooper's full recovery.
And, of course, we continue to remember and pray for the people suffering and trying to rebuild in Haiti.
We've heard from a few of you, but are still looking for expressions of interest in having a social event for friends, members, and former members of this Sunday School class, and all the folks on our prayer request list. We've missed seeing each other outside of Sunday services! So we are thinking about the first weekend of August, most likely Saturday the 7th. John Flowers has offered his house. We could do a potluck dinner, say gathering around 6 p.m. All family members welcome! Please reply to John F. or John C., or just let us know when you see us on Sunday.

Praises, travel mercies:
We have mostly praises this week!
Larry Springer was able to join the class this week; his recovery from double bypass heart surgery is going well. Also, Claudia McManamey is regularly attending the 11 a.m. service, making a great (if slow) recovery from Guillain-Barre Syndrome. We look forward to her joining us again in Sunday School.
Cathy Clement is happy to share that her daughter Veronica is coming this Wednesday to spend a week with them; John is happy that his son Jay is coming up from Christiansburg to stay for a while; he is staying clean and sober. Travel mercies, and also to all our vacation travelers during this season.
Phil Ridgway's father (driving east to stay with Phil's sister) has made it to Arkansas, and is expected to reach Newport News by sometime Monday.
I forgot to mention a huge (and long-delayed) praise: Phil Ridgway's papers have finally come in for his new job at the Navy Yard. He had been waiting for a long time, and there are some details to be worked out, but he actually has a start date: June 19!
Prayers:
We continue to pray for Larry Springer's recovery, and for Winnie Cooper.
Also Claudia McManamey and her husband Jim. You can, as always, visit and read Jim's latest updates on their journal and show your support at: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/claudiamcmanamey.
We are continuing to pray for the Bolton family. And, of course, we continue to remember and pray for the people suffering and trying to rebuild in Haiti.
