A Wednesday Night On-line Prayer Session.

It's Wednesday and in September we will be reviving our Wednesday night prayer services. They will include some singing, a short message and a time of prayer. The services will be held at 7:00 p.m. and go to about 7:45 p.m. I hope you will join us. I'll start the season with a series of messages based on the Lord's prayer.

Since we don't have the prayer service yet, I thought I would try to share our prayer list with you on Wednesdays from now on. So here we go.

Think of Don Bonds, our new friend in West Virginia. Pray for his health and his growing relationship with the Lord.

Lift up the Mustard Seeds and Mountains Ministry that we worked with. Especially think of Randy and Jacque Wallace, the leaders, in your prayers.

Say a prayer for Doris Regets, Melinda Brick, Michelle Lord, Matthew and Elizabeth Isenburg, Nancy Oat, Lois Lopez and Al Damien.

Think of Pam Maynard who recently had surgery in your prayers.

Lift up Luis Pabon as he has a cat scan and determines whether he will need surgery this fall.

Four friends of our from the community also covet our prayers. Mike Goldblatt and Doug Philipps both had emergency surgery last week and came home early this week. Think of them. Mary Webber Hall, former organist at Lee Memorial, and Randy Shibilo, pastor at Norwich Assembly of God, are both undergoing treatment for cancer.

We lift up the Landa family in Griswold. Bruno Hayn will be working with volunteers to help build them a new home. Some of us will be a part of that effort.

Think of Rick and Mercy Barnes, our missionaries to Mexico. They recently traveled across the country to bring their oldest daughter to the University of Virginia for her freshman year. They are now adjusting to life with their oldest spreading her wings.

There is also reason to give God praise for the ministry of the Barnes'. After the June numbers were in, it appears they have nearly reached their goal for support for the year. They need to raise just over a thousand dollars more to insure their stay in the field. Praise God.

We also give thanks for the safe return of the two ladies from North Korea. We continue to lift up our state government as they seek to make the cuts needed to bring a budget to a vote.

We continue to pray that God's will be done and that he will use us to share his love in concrete ways.
