Prayers & Update

Julie Rowland - Prayers of thanksgiving that Julie has passed her test. Besides, prayers be alongside with both Julie and Richard while Richard is far away.

Michael Austin - Prayers for wisdom, guidance, and strength while he is looking for his next step.

Gail Burks - Already halfway through the first part of the treatment and feeling okay. She will start a different set of drugs in June and has to be concerned about low blood counts due to that. She gets extra injections for that but it leaves her fatigued. Gratefully, she is now on paid leave until her retirement date. Prayers for strength alongside her treatment.

Laurie Berg - She is feeling a lot better after the medication change. Still struggle a little bit with neck pain. She is grateful that both her and Paul are able to go on for the trip that they have planned months ago.

Sue Elliot - Prayers for continuous and good recovery for her hip.

Harry Stinespring - Harry’s recovery is coming along, but it takes more patience that what he thought. Prayers for continuous and good recovery.

Bruce Brunt - Recovery going in the right direction but it is taking longer that expected. Prayers for a continuous and good recovery.
