Praises, travel mercies:
We celebrate Gail and Charles' upcoming wedding, 11/26.
John Flowers traveling to Houston this weekend to help his mother celebrate her 90th birthday.
Prayer requests:
Please pray for Cathy Clement. A prescription change reduced her antidepressant dosage, and she has been battling severe depression for a couple of weeks. She has now doubled her dosage, and we pray for her overcoming the disease.
Larry asked for continuing prayers for his wife Nora. He tried to get her admitted for mental health treatment, but the therapist who reviewed the case refused to commit her. He will be looking for other ways to get her help.
We're also praying for Jerry Pruitt, going into quadruple bypass surgery on Tuesday; and for his wife Tamara, for putting her burdens in the hands of the Great Physician; and for discernment and steady hands for the surgeons...
...And for Bill and April King, still grieving the sudden death last week of Bill's father Bill Sr., for comfort and peace in the certain knowledge that he is with the Father and they will see him again.
Dee Stayner asked for continuing prayers for her sister Nancy, still hoping to have someone (besides her lawyer) to go with her at her court appearance in late December.
Claudia McManamey asked for prayers for a niece (nephew's ex-wife), Becky; her son (Alex, in his early twenties) has told her he no longer wants to associate with her or have her visit him; she is very distraught. The son has been diagnosed as bipolar, and his actions are affecting both of them.
Phil Ridgway asked for continuing prayers for his mom, trying to get into an assisted living facility.
Please keep praying for our church. With growth come organizational and space/facilities problems, and we need prayer and discernment in the church body to hear God's will for us.

PCBC By the Book Prayer Requests for Sunday 11/6/2011
Praises, travel mercies:
John Flowers offered praises... this week (facing a new boss at his job) things went well, better than he had expected. Pray this continues. He also requested travel mercies: traveling to Houston this coming weekend to help his mother celebrate her 90th birthday.
Prayer requests:
Larry Springer's car has passed inspection (new exhaust, worked hard to put it in), and now he will take on getting his wife Nora to treatment. Please pray for recovery for her. Larry also mentioned his son's sister-in-law and her husband (Glenn and Christine Pruitt), going to Wycliffe Bible Translators before setting out on mission; please pray for them, since these projects go on for years. Also John (son) and wife Dawn, getting training in church planting and hoping next year to plant a Vineyard church near Gainesville.
Dee Stayner asked for continuing prayers for her sister Nancy, a long-haul trucker battling a traffic charge in the Dakotas, something she is totally innocent of... she goes to trial on December 29; she hopes to have someone (besides her lawyer) to go with her. Dee also asked for prayers for her neighbor Steven, in need of full-time employment. She is hoping to be approved for a place at a senior-living housing group, which would reduce her costs; the Senior Acceptance Committee meets this week.
Dee also mentioned those people in the northeast of the U.S., still without power from last week's storm.
Jim and Claudia McManamey mentioned Judd and Tara Howry, trying to round up resources to go on mission: Judd to Africa, and Tara, her sister and her daughter trying to go to Honduras.
Phil Ridgway asked for prayers for his mom, trying to get into an assisted living facility.
Please keep praying for our church. With growth come organizational and space/facilities problems, and we need prayer and discernment in the church body to hear God's will for us. Specifically, today and tomorrow: the business meeting and the church council meeting. Pray for cool heads and logical thinking, Christian grace and charity, and for Don Carmichael as he presents the draft staff handbook. [It went well, by the way.]
