Weekly Prayer Update - 2/13 - 7:21pm

PROSPECTIVE ELDER CANDIDATES: The names of Doug Faires, Wayne Kerby & Paul McClain were announced today as the prospective Elders.  Please make sure that you return your Affirmation/Reaffirmation sheets next Sunday, February 20. You have to make sure that you check by each name, or it will be counted as a "NO".

Richard Logan asked for our prayers today to be a good husband and father and to deal with his temper.

Our sympathy goes out to the Welch/McFadden/McCarter families as they are grieving the loss of their Dad/Granddad, Roy Welch.  His services were today at Fry Gibbs Funeral Home.

Continue to remember the following in prayer:

• Former member at LACOC, Mike Grigsby, suffered a stroke yesterday afternoon and was CareFlighted to Oklahoma University Medical Center.  The surgery last night showed no blood clots.  They were to do an MRI today.  No other details are known at this time. 
• Gary Gage is now at home after a very successful 5 by-pass surgery!
• Paul Gene Roden's knee surgery went well and he is in rehab for the next 10 days.
• Ruth Ann Stallings is now at home after double knee replacement and 17 days in the hospital/rehab.
• Perry Hanley fell on the ice this week and broke his leg.
• Kim Hanley's uncle, Thomas Jones, has been diagnosed with cancer.
• Jill Usry-Ingram has been diagnosed with Hepatitis C.  They are looking at treatment and a definitive diagnosis on her liver. 
• Dustin Strickland is recovering from the infection that he had on his brain.  He was told this week that he does have another 6-12 months before all of the swelling goes down.
• CONGRATULATIONS to Glenn & Maeta Lee!  They are expecting a baby boy on May 12.
• Angie Duren's Dad, Coy McGregor, will have radiation treatments in Houston tomorrow.
• Chris & Linda Easton's son, Kyle Easton, had major back/spine surgery on Thursday of this week.  He is experiencing severe back pain, as a result of that surgery, at this time. 
• Lesa Bulls' cousin, Betty Brockington, has an appointment scheduled to determine treatment for lesions on her brain.
• Robert Wunsch is recovery from ilesotomy surgery, in Oklahoma with this daughter.
• Jamie Felker, Anna Zant's son-in-law, will have knee surgery on Tuesday.  Anna also asked that we keep her Mom & Dad, Joe & Christine Mashburn in our prayers.
• Tammy Huffman asked that we remember, Everett Hodges, the preacher at Central Church of Christ in Denison, as he has cancer.
• A few weeks ago I told you about little Hunter Kelley (his cousin goes to the Blossom Church of Christ).  Hunter had retinoblastoma, which is cancer of the eye.  He has had to have both eyes removed.  The doctors have now said that there is NO sign of cancer at all.  Praise the Lord!
• On a personal note:  I have appointments this week, with the retinologist on Thursday and with the surgeon on Friday.  WoooHOOO!  Ready to see what this next phase brings!
