Please keep the Winters Family in your prayers...

Many of you may have received an email from Jessie Winters. Jessie had a meeting this morning with his employer and was told his position was being eliminated, and that October 1, 2009 would be his last day. Jessie has been with his company for 12 years.

He has asked that anyone with a prayer list to please put the Winters Family on it.

Please pray that God open a door for Jessie.

Pray for each other!

Also, you might have received the following email from Scott Houston:

Just a quick update. Alison went to the Dr. this morning and her blood pressure is still elevated and the baby is breach. Long story short.... Alison is scheduled to have a C-section on Thursday, July 16 at around noon. The Dr. did not think there was anything to be gained by waiting any longer. Please pray for a safe procedure and a calmness for Alison. As she went through the pre-screening process she became apprehensive when they started asking questions and talking about full anesthesia. (which is only a last resort...but still scary to think about for me too!).

Thank you all for your prayers and the baby shower. This is truly a special sund....oops Life Group.

In an email from Shelli...Prayer Request...

Please be in prayer for Traci Duren's mother, Linda Kay Holland . She was admitted to St. Edwards last night, and really needs your prayers for various issues she is going through right now. Please be in prayer for her during this time!

Received emails with the following prayer requests...

1. John McLellan's uncle passed away--so please remember their family in your prayers.

2. Misty Butler's dad (Donnie Green) was in ICU this week due to what they thought at the time was a heart attack. He has been released and it sounds like a heart attack was ruled out; however he is still experiencing pain. Please remember Donnie and his family in your prayers.

3. From Scott Houston: Alison wanted me to let everyone know that her mother's surgery went well this morning. They did not have to repair the valve, but instead cleaned the valve out. (I don't know the correct medical term for that). Her mom is in recovery and will come home today.

4. Pray for Traci Duren and her family. Her grandmother passed away last night. Keep Traci and her family in your prayers.

5. My mother...She is in some pain and has a few side effects with her chemo treatments. Please keep her in your prayers in the days ahead.

Pray for everyone in our Life Group!

God Bless Everyone!

Potluck and Church Fun Day

I just wanted to remind everyone that we will be having a potluck right after Sunday School this week in honor of the Baldwin's. I hope you can make it if at all possible. Also, we have entered a kickball team in the Church Fun Day that starts at 4:00pm on Sunday. If you could e-mail me your height/weight, whether you kick with your right or left foot, and also the number of years of formal kickball experience you have that would be beneficial in making out our starting line-up. Of course you know that I am kidding---but if you would let me know if you plan on playing that would be great. We must have at least 8 and four must be women. So just shoot me and e-mail.
I also wanted to pass on two prayer requests:
1. John McLellan's uncle passed away--so please remember their family in your prayers
2. Misty Butler's dad (Donnie Green) was in ICU this week due to what they thought at the time was a heart attack. He has been released and it sounds like a heart attack was ruled out; however he is still experiencing pain. Please remember Donnie and his family in your prayers.

Have a great weekend---See you Sunday!!

Jessie wanted to pass this email on from Stacie McLellan...

We will not be able to make it to church this weekend. Johnny had an Uncle that passed away and his funeral will be on Sunday. He lived in Arizona and they are bringing him back to Mena for the funeral. Tell Jeb we will miss him and we will keep him and his family in our prayers and hopefully we will see everyone the next Sunday at Church.

Thanks,
Stacie McLellan

Be in prayer for the McLellan family during this time.

God Bless,
