Prayer Request Update - 2/21 - 7:42pm

Thanks Patrick for starting our week off right by reminding us that God has us in the palm of his hand.  That's such a calming thought for me!  Knowing that at all times He's watching over us!

I love that every week our VERY talented praise leaders bring us a song service that opens our hearts and minds together!  We all have songs that invoke memories of a time or an event in our lives.  ("Sing and Be Happy" reminds me of those "old school" singing services that we used to have.  I would always request that one!)

Ora Henderson went forward this morning saying that she "feels like the world is closing in on me".  She always would like prayers for her family health and their spiritual life.

• Please keep Mary Sharber and Charlie Parkman's families in your prayers as they grieve the loss of our sweet friends. Mary's funeral will be at 11am at the Fry-Gibbs Funeral Home chapel.  Visitation will be at 10am.
• Our sympathy is extended to Jim & Delores Parker in the death of their brother-in-law, Robert Ross.
• Hazel Hicks has been admitted to PRMC/S.
• Cleve Fendley is continuing to recover from by-pass surgery.  He's in Baylor.
• The past couple of weeks, I've asked you to pray for a Sister in Christ, Jenny Bizallion. She is 31, is married and has a little girl, Malaya.  Her dad is Rick Ross, the preacher in Decatur.  Jenny thought she had the flu...then it went into pneumonia...then she got a staph infection...then it turned to sepsis.  They had to cut off both her legs this week and is now having seizures. Please go to this website https://www.carepages.com/ - fill out a quick form and make up a password.  Then there will be a place where you can put in a name....type in Jenny Bizaillion.   You will then receive e-mails telling you when the family has updates about her...or a special prayer request.  
• Tyler Benedick has strep throat.
• John Williams asked that we continue to remember his 2 yr old nephew, Emmitt, as the family travels to Cinncinati for treatments for his cancer.  This will be toughest part, so far, for him. 
• Cynthia Williams asked that we pray for her friends who are having serious marriage problems.  She also asked for prayers for her aunt, Nancy Stanfill.  She's been admitted to the hospital for psychiatric problems.
• Janet Christ asked that we remember Aaron, as he travels back to Harding today.  Be careful Aaron!
• Linda Erwin asked that we pray for the Cox family.  Their little baby was born at 24 weeks.  They are in Plano.
• Derald Bulls' friend, George Kimbrough, continues to take cancer treatments weekly.
• Pearl Holmes friend, Debra Whorton, has been admitted to the hospital.  Pearl said "her body is shutting down".
