CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR...

Last week, Henny V.F. fell. She has no broken bones. But she has a crack in her pelvis and suffers from a lot of pain. Pray for comfort and healing from God's hand.

Continue to pray for Alice P. and Dan H. and the recovery that lies before them.

Bill Miedema, Jenny A’s brother, has learned that his cancer has returned; he waits for news of a surgery date.

Pray for Dan K., Melody, and the children. Pray for continued grace and mercies.

Also remember those who suffer from chronic disease, pain and depression that may not be as visible.

Please keep in prayer all those who are mourning because a loved one has died.
