*Sharing of Joys and Concerns from Sunday, March 31, 2019*
- Ann - My knees feel better and I am walking without a cane today!
Please continue to pray for Donna Wills who deals with pain on a daily
basis. Her email is donnalynnwills@xxxxxxxxx.
- Dixie - Please pray for my 10 year old cousin, Norah, in Pennsylvania
who caught an extremely rare combination of a virus and bacterial
infection and went into septic shock on Wednesday morning. After 3+ days of
round the clock care, the family is just starting to see a few signs of
hope and recovery but each victory illuminates the next 100 grueling steps.
The family could use financial support. Here is a link to caringbridge
<https://www.caringbridge.org/visit/norahbrubaker/journal> and ways to
give to support Norah and the family.
- Josh - Pray for my grandfather on my Dad's side of the family. He was
taken to the ER with a leg wound. He is in his mid 80s and lives
independently on a farm.
- Pat - Pray for Steve's family as they gather on April 27 in Indiana to
remember his father's life. Steve's father died at the end of November
2018.
- Lee - Continue to pray for Bob Koehn as he continues to recover
strength and mobility at home after a recent hospital stay.
- Machue - I ask for prayer for protection of my friendship with my dad,
and protection for Andre and Jackie. I also asked for support for my friend
Veronique who just lost her brother ,and for her dad who is deeply affected
by their loss.
Also, my sister, Leyla Fowe, who lives near Atlanta gave birth on March
1 to Kai Aren Fowe Choudja. My mother, Jackie, is there helping out. My
sister recently graduated from medical school and is doing her residency in
Atlanta. Jackie's emails are: jacquelinefowe@xxxxxxxxxxx and
Jacquelinefowe1955@xxxxxxxxx
- Stacy V. - (responding to sermon) I appreciate the support that the
church family gives each other and especially this time of sharing our joys
and concerns with each other.
