We were delighted to have several new guests with us this week as well as some others we've been missing. It sounds as if wee will have quite a few more joining us for Homecoming next week. Praise the Lord for the work He is doing in our church.
Keep Mike in your thoughts and prayers as he continues with the chemotherapy. He was hospitalized on Saturday in extreme pain. He is back home now. Richard is still not sleeping at night and is now sick with a virus. According to Pastor David Arvella seemed better when he spoke with her but she and Dede still need our prayer and support as her health fails.
April's mother was recently hospitalized with severe bronchitis and asthma. April would like for us to pray for her continued breathing difficulties. April wants us to keep praying for her aunts and the rest of her family. Sandra will be going for surgery on September 13 and will be in the hospital for a couple of days. Kay requested prayer for her aunt Laverne who has learned that she has a progressive disease.
We have a lot of needs that are ongoing that we pray for every week. Sometimes it can be discouraging when we don't see the answers or they aren't the ones we hoped for. In those times we need to keep our trust in Jesus and keep seeking His will, knowing that He loves us and has a plan for those who love Him. When you pray, ask how you might be a part of God's answer or a support in someone's time of need.
