Praises, travel mercies:
Cathy Clement will be traveling to visit her daughter Veronica this coming weekend. We pray for safe travels, and continued prayers for Veronica, in a difficult family situation with her father and stepmother.
Deb Duty is back and recovered from the flu; we give thanks.
Gail Ryder said things are going better with her family; the foster children are doing well, and she has had fresh thoughts about her daughter Raven deciding to join the Navy.
Rachelle Carson brought us two guests to Sunday School class: Anthony and Paul, from the Community for Creative Nonviolence (CCNV) homeless shelter ministry in the District. Anthony is looking to start a street ministry; Paul is a patient at CCNV, recovering from being run over in a hit-and-run, having required multiple surgeries. We welcome them and will pray for Anthony's ministry and Paul's recovery.
Claudia and Jim McManamey gave praises: this week she has been able to recover walking with a heel-and-toe motion, another sign of her recovery.
Larry Springer said Nora, his wife, continues to do well.
Prayer requests:
Cathy Clement asked for prayers for her brother R.L. Smith and his family, especially Dee, his wife. Her mother, Ann Hollenbeck, passed away this week after a renewed struggle with cancer. Dee and her mother were very close; this is very hard for the two families.
We ask for continued prayers for the Rickard and Cramer families; especially Sherry and also Bill's mother. Sherry will be carrying the burdens of the family going forward. Don't forget to help with support for the Youth Hike, which they are doing to make a donation to St. Jude's Children's Hospital in Bill's name.
Please keep the Bolton family in your prayers. Prayer is needed now.
Dee Stayner asked for prayers for her daughter Kristy, who is struggling with roller-coaster ups and downs in her divorce.
Claudia McManamey mentioned her daughter Dawn and Dawn's husband. They are still struggling with financial issues, waiting for a job that he's applied for. On the positive side, a temporary job for Dawn has been extended; it will involve travel to several countries, and Claudia asks prayers for her safety.
Please keep the Clements in prayer for the DivorceCare and GriefShare classes. Cathy needs to find someone who can help as a co-facilitator with the DivorceCare ministry.
Claudia also mentioned a person at her sister-in-law's church who has just been diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome. Claudia asks for prayer: she knows personally the struggle that faces this person on the road to recovery.
Larry Springer asked for prayer for a semi-retired minister from Grace Baptist Church and the Grace Filipino church, Charlie Chilton. He's had a recurrence of the prostate cancer that was in remission. Please pray for Charlie and his wife.

Our friend Bill Rickard passed away on Monday 2/14. We know he's healed and in Heaven; we pray for comfort for Sherry, their daughter Christina, his sister Eileen Kramer and her husband Craig and their children. Our whole church is shaken -- we had all shared in Bill and his family's struggle. We pray for all of us to feel Christ's loving arms around us and be able to support the family.
Praises, travel mercies:
Dee Stayner offered praises -- her daughter Kristy has found a place to rent for herself, her daughter and the family pets. Prayers as she goes through her divorce. Also, Dee had asked last week for prayers for her mother's back pain and inflammation. A visit to a specialist has almost completely reduced the inflammation, and she is feeling enormously better.
The Valentine's banquet at the church Saturday night was a lovely event: beautifully decorated (thanks, Lydia and the team!), great food and well attended. Larry Springer and his wife Nora were there! We thank everyone who worked so hard to make the event a success.
Jim and Claudia McManamey -- 46 wonderful years together! Happy Valentine's day to them -- and to all our happy couples.
John Flowers gave a praise -- work is going almost unbelievably well.
Prayer requests:
Cathy Clement asks for prayers for her daughter Veronica, in a difficult family situation. Her father and stepmother are fighting and talking about separation.
Phil Ridgway asked for prayers for his dad, Randy. He goes in for eye surgery on March 2nd. We also continue to pray for Phil Ridgway's sister, Candy. She is worried about Donnie, her husband.
Mary Dunlap asks for prayers for her daughter Brianna -- teen issues. The driving is, however, going well. Mary also mentioned her sister-in-law's grandmother (near 80): back broken from a fall downstairs.
Claudia McManamey mentioned that Jim's visit to the specialist had at least eliminated cancer or kidney stones as possible causes of his symptoms, but that causes are still unknown; he will be looking for a second opinion. We continue to pray for discernment and healing.
Gail Ryder asked for prayers. No, it's not the foster children; they're fine. Raven, her daughter, has decided she wants to volunteer for the Navy.
Deb Duty is sick with what seems to be a serious case of the flu. She was briefly taken to hospital for high fever and dehydration, and is now back home with her daughter in Tennessee. We pray for her prompt recovery.
Dee Stayner mentioned her sister Nancy Weide, a long-haul trucker. She has discovered she was suffering from long-term exposure to carbon monoxide, and is back home and not working. Her recovery is not at all certain.
John also mentioned that Kim Glasoe and John are beginning (next Sunday) to go through the Truth Project class. This is a 13-week series; if you have heard about the Truth Project and want more information, contact either person.
We continue to lift up in prayer Cathy Clement's sister-in-law's mother, Ann Hollenbeck, for lung cancer. Also, Lydia Flowers' dad, at a nursing home and still not responding strongly. John also asked for prayers for his mother's nursing home situation.
Also, please continue to pray for our neighbors with money or job troubles in Woodbridge and Prince William County.
