Friday

“Nations will come to your light,

and kings to the brightness of your radiance.”

~Isaiah 60:3, HCSB~

 

Choir Members

Pray for the choir members at FBC, Kentwood and other churches who have practiced and practiced for the Christmas programs they will be presenting.  It seems like all the practicing, the weather, and the devil all work against those who will be sharing with us again this year.

Ray Davis

We have a request from Ms. Fay Shoemaker to pray for Ray Davis of Texas who is having major surgery today.  Be sure to honor her request.

Ms. Martha Traylor

Ms. Martha is still hospitalized at Hood Memorial in room 4 with bronchitis and fluid around her heart.  The family would appreciate your prayers and your words of encouragement for her.

Linda Phillips

Linda has been released from North Oaks.  Thanks for praying for her.

Jerry Doughty

Jerry has also been released from North Oaks.  Thank for praying for him too.

Special Christmas Prayers

Pray for families celebrating the first Christmas without a loved one and for those who will not be celebrating with their families this year.  Pray for those who will be working while their families are gathering, for those traveling, for those who are not together because of other responsibilities.
