Daily Update

Continue in your daily prayers:
We rejoice with Luke Williams for putting on Christ in Baptism Sunday. Let’s keep him in prayer as he begins his new walk with the Lord.

Brenda Spratt had hip surgery Tuesday. She requests our prayers.

Brayden Goolsby’s lymphoma has returned. Doctors across the nation are forming a plan. He had surgery Monday the 17th for dialysis ports. He is in pain due to the anesthesia and need of dialysis. The dialysis also filters out the pain meds so he has to deal with it until they can give him more. Specific prayers for comfort so he can get some sleep. Also pray for his parents Charlie (Jenny) and Will Wilcox.

Please pray for Regina Mabry, wife of Ken Mabry. She has finished her first round of chemotherapy for cancer in the lungs and lymph nodes; two more rounds to go.
