Weekly Update - 1/8 - 9pm

Patrick gave us a wonderful message this morning on The Prayer of Jabez....“Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted his request."  And God GRANTED his request....If you are going to pray a BOLD prayer...be ready to be blessed by God in ways you can't even imagine. 

• Dee Lyons went forward this morning for prayers for her health and family issues.
• Butch & Sue Munday are so thankful that Butch will not have to have heart surgery and doctors are treating him with medications.
• Dianna Welch is at home and very sore, after her fall on Friday night.  She did not break any ribs, but she is very sore.
• Daryl Buchanan (Alvin's brother) fell while getting out of his truck, in North Dakota, and broke several ribs and punctured a lung.
• Dr. Bill Logee (friend of Derald Bulls) is recovering from a heart attack.
• Leah Boswell (co-worker of Lesa Bulls) father had heart surgery this week.
• Sherry Welch and her family will all be together this next week to finalize and make closure of her Mom's (Hazel Cross) life.
• Chaz Wilson (Vera Wilson's son) is being deployed to Europe.
• Alma Slagle (Dinah Border's cousin) has breast cancer.
• The Ladies Class listed these requests:  Sarah Cooke diagnosed with cancer, Douglas Sands a 3 year old having health issues and J.C. Pomroy (retired Coke employee) has lung cancer.
• My friend, Donna Archer, had her strong dose of chemo last Friday, Dec 30th which killed all of her cells, good and bad. Her stem cell harvest is scheduled for tomorrow and possibly Tuesday if needed. Please pray that this will be a simple and easy process for her that will take the minimum expected time. Also pray that they get an over abundance of stem cells so that she may not have to endure this part of the process again. Please continue to pray for Donna, her husband Sammy and the family.
