Prayer Request Update - 9/22 - 12:06p

John Welch, Jr., 46 year old son of John Welch (former member of LACOC) is in critical condition in an Alabama hospital. He has lung cancer that has spread to his spine and his brain and possibly other organs as well. John is with his son. He requests no phone calls. (His address & phone number will be available at the Welcome Center on Wednesday night, that is where I place the prayer requests each week.)

Little Tucker Hamilton, the new baby who we added to our list last week, had his heart surgery yesterday and is doing much better. The doctor did reinforce the fact that the next 48 hours is the most critical time for him because his heart and blood vessels will be swelling a lot, but they expect him to do well. They will be in the NICU for approximately 3-4 weeks. You can see pictures and read Tucker's story by clicking on this link: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/tuckerhamilton/journal

Prayer Request Update - 9/18 - 7:30pm

Dorothy Pearce sent this sweet message tonight: "Jerry remains at Paris Skilled Nursing Facility on 7th floor of PRMC South, Room 711. He's doing well and making some gradual progress. God blesses us each day with a little sign of hope and encouragement - a little movement in his left hand, a little better balance with his left leg, a beautiful smile that's a little straighter, a better appetite (and looking forward to getting on a regular diet plan instead of the "mechanical soft" he's been on for several weeks now). He continues to maintain a positive attitude and is willing to try whatever the therapists challenge him with. He knows there's a long road ahead of us, but with God's helping hand and your continued love, concern and prayers on his behalf, we'll continue to achieve these daily little bits of forward progress. It's so wonderful to be a part of such a caring, loving church family!"
