Also don't forget: the We Love Woodbridge festival, August 27th. Sunday school classes have been asked to each contribute a game. We still have time to come up with something. All of Potomac Crest needs to participate and show our neighbors what PCBC is all about!
Praises, travel mercies:
We remember, pray for, and ask travel mercies for all our college students, starting to go back to school for the fall term. School starts won't be far behind.
Becky Bolton finished her nurse's training, with a 3.9 GPA! Now she has to take her licensing exam.
Jay Clement is doing well at the Florida sober living program. He has two jobs, and is trying to decide which one to keep; he has a sponsor and a couple of accountability partners, and is going on sixty days sober. We thank everyone who has written him; knowing he has PCBC behind him has been a powerful motivator.
The McManameys will be traveling to Michigan for a couple of weeks, visiting with Jim's family. We wish them safe travels.
Prayer requests:
Phillip's dad was in church and class today. Doctors still don't know what to do with his chest pains and blood pressure fluctuations. We pray for the doctors' discernment and for help in healing. Please keep praying for him.
Our good friend and church member "Gadget" Williams will be going in for prostate surgery on Monday, after which he will be laid up for several weeks. We pray for a good outcome and quick healing.
Mary Dunlap asked for prayers for her brother Richard and his wife Sheryl. They will be facing a major life change, and Mary asked that we pray for a successful outcome.
Judd Howry (McManamey son-in-law) visited class today. He asked for prayers for healing for his daughter Tory, who broke her wrist in gymnastics over a month ago and kept exercising, not realizing it was broken... she now has it splinted. He also mentioned the Kairos prison ministry in which he is active. His group will be at the Eastern Correctional Institute in Maury, NC in October, working with prisoners doing very long, hard time, bringing the Word, cooking for the prisoners, staying for several days. He asked for prayers during the period they are at the prison (October 27-30); there is a sign-up sheet to pray, and they hope to decorate the ECI gym with a chain of prayer promises... email John Clement if you want to sign up. One can also contribute for meals and home-baked cookies for the prisoners...
Claudia McM. also mentioned Judd and Tara's son Ryan, about to give a talk to his 10th-grade class reviewing the book Lord of the Flies from a Biblical perspective. He has been challenged for his Christian views before, but he refuses to back down. We pray for his message to be heard...
We're still keeping the Bolton family in our prayers.
Please pray for our church and our pastor's message... with growth come growing pains.
We're all out of contributors to the snack list! Anyone want to restart it?
