From Ellen Morris VandeVuss

Please add the Arnold family from Watson to the Prayer Link. This is a family from our school. Mike Arnold has been in ICU at the Lake since Sunday night. He has a bleeding stroke. Decisions have to possibly be made tomorrow regarding life support. His wife is Dena and his children are Katelyn, 7th grade and Seth, 5th grade. These are such sweet people and they are praying for a miracle.
Also we are hosting a fundraiser for Jadon Pailet on Saturday in Walker. Part of the fundraiser will be a silent auction. We will be posting items tomorrow night on Facebook. Bidding will begin and go through noon Saturday. Check the event Jadon’s Jems for more info.

From Compassion Net

A missionary recently wrote, “We often encounter many people here who have desperate needs. Recently we came across a family with a 15-month-old boy who is believed to have HIV, which he contracted at one of the local hospitals. It is hard to know how to care for and show love to these people who have no eternal hope. Please pray that we will be able to love them and serve their physical needs adequately, as well as share the hope they can have in Jesus. Also pray for them to have open hearts in their times of deep need.”

…. I’m asking for prayer for Chris (Wales). He’ll be having a heart cath and, most likely, angioplasty in the morning (Thursday) at 6:00. After tests the doctor says there appears to be a blockage. We expect a positive outcome but still covet the prayers of our faithful family and friends on the prayer link. Thank you!!
Love,
Kathy

Mr. Phillip Harrell is stable and being watched at the hospital.  Hopefully, tomorrow his blood thinner level will allow the tests he needs to check out his heart.  Pray for him and pray for his family, especially “Miss” Annie Bell.

Monday

“Today I have made you a fortified city,

an iron pillar and a bronze wall to stand against the whole land —

against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests and the people of the land.”

~Jeremiah 1:18 NIV~

Please pray for Mrs. Mary Alice Blackwell who is living in Moss Point, MS now.  As you pray for her, say special prayers for her family too.

Jimmy Schwartz is home, but not doing well.  Pray for him and his family during these difficult days.

Mrs. Velma Anthony injured her back a few weeks ago.  Pray for her as she seeks relief.  She made extra effort to be in Sunday School yesterday.  Doesn’t that sound just like her?

Andy Taylor endured two long sessions of testing on his hand.  There will be a written report to his doctor in a week or so.  Addition surgery seems to be in the near future for Andy.  Pray for relief from pain and as much use of his hand as possible.  No matter the outcome, God will use Andy!  I know that!

Larry Watts was admitted to North Oaks due to additional problems.  Pray for him and for his family.

Mr. Edward Bridges has been in North Oaks since a fall a few weeks ago.  He has had surgery, but is still hospitalized because additional problems have been found.

Mrs. Evelyn Bridges did make it to Sunday School and church yesterday.  She even sang in the choir!  What a blessing to see her back wearing a big smile.
