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.]
