Pray for Tim Brinkley...

Keep Tim Brinkley in your prayers. Received email from Aimee...Tim had an appendectomy on Thursday. Then he ended up with some collapsed alveoli that made it hard for him to breathe and hurt really bad. He's doing much better. He stayed home today, but is planning to go back to work tomorrow.

*****************************************************

Also, keep John and Angel Ciesla, and their family in your prayers. Pray that God bless him and his family as they begin a new phase of ministry. Sunday night John was ordained as a Deacon in our church.

**It was good to see those from our class in attendance for the Ordination. I have been out a few weeks due to Mother's Day, and for a family reunion, and it was good to see some familiar faces. Pray for me as I travel this weekend. I hope to see everyone in our group soon.

God Bless!

Urgent Prayer Request for Shelli's Dad!!!!

I had just got off of the phone with Shelli Baldwin. They had received a good report from the heart cath her father had today. But, Shelli just called me back saying that her dad has passed out. An ambulance has been called, and they were taking him to the Emergency Room at St. Edwards! Pray for Shelli's dad!

Sunday Life Group Prayer Requests...

Sunday, we had numerous prayer requests. If the details are vague, it is because there are some things that are not being released, or they could be unspoken requests:

• Shelli's dad was having a heart cath done today. Keep him and the family in your prayers.
• Shelli also had a praise. Her brother in Minnesota has been going to church.
• Pray for the Trish Bauer family.

• Shelli had another praise...Mason's blood work has come in and he has not had any further problems. Keep Mason and the Baldwin family in your prayers. They requests your prayers for the months ahead.
• We have some prospects for the Life Group that we need to keep in our prayers. Pray that if it be God's Will, they come to join our group...if not, pray that God leads them in a place where they can study His Word!
• Valerie Wells had a praise. Her niece who lives in Mena was one block from the path of the tornado.
• Michelle Winters has been having sinus issues. Pray for her.
• Jessie Winters wanted us to be in prayer for a kid of a friend of his. A very bright student, just took a wrong path. Pray for this one. God knows what our prayers are for!

Be in prayer for these. Pray for each other. It was good seeing each and every one of you in our Life Group Sunday. If you were not there, you were missed! God Bless each and every one of you!

God Bless,

Philip

Praise!!!

First of all, thank you for your prayers for my Mom. I just got off the phone with her and she seems upbeat about the report that she got!

She is to keep on the medicine that she has been taking. The medicine seems to be helping her. Her tumors have actually shrunk in size. Her biopsy revealed no cancer in the lymph nodes in her right breast, and only one of the lymph nodes in the left breast showed signs of cancer. And like I said, those tumors have shrunk in the left side.

No surgery, or chemotherapy has been scheduled at this time. They want to see if the medicine will shrink these tumors some more. So, overall, she seems to have got a pretty good report considering everything. She will stay on the medicine and go back to see the doctor in two months!

Thank you and continue to lift her up in your prayers. God does hear your prayers!

Keep Traci Duren's Grandma and Family in your Prayers!

Traci's Grandma is being moved to another room because her kidneys are shutting down. Traci went to the hospital, and it seems like her Grandma is holding her own. They are not sure how long she has, or if she will come out of it. Please keep her family in your prayers.

Prayer Request

Please keep my mother Patsy Darr in your prayers. She will be having another biopsy tomorrow (Friday). Once all the tests are in, I am sure they will have a better idea on a treatment plan.

Thanks,

Philip
