News, Mommy's Day, and Prayer-related Stuff

Friends:

Good evening! I hope everyone has had a good Mother's Day weekend. First off, I want to say a big welcome to Nicki (sp?), Brian Harris's friend, who was a guest in our class this morning. Great to have you, Nicki! I hope you will come back to see us again soon.

We also need to say a big thanks to Greg and Courtney H. for bringing us bagels this morning! Thanks, Hudsons! Next week, Shawn and Shelley Buhner are in charge. Thanks for signing up, Buhners!

PRAYERS, PRAISES, ETC.

As far as prayers are concerned, we need to continue to pray for strength for Mary and Vince E. We're praying for you guys, Ericksons! Please ask God to continue to be with the Ericksons as they look toward brighter days in the future.

Also on the Erickson front, we need to pray for Mary's cousin. He has had some difficult days recently, including having a tank of gas siphoned from his car! I'm afraid gas thievery could become a more common crime in the weeks and months ahead. Time for locking gas caps?!

Let's continue our prayers for David and Ashlee McCrary as they prepare for their move to Houston. David has also asked that we pray for everyone at his TV station who is working to replace him and a few others who have found new work.

We also need to continue our prayers for Matt and Beth Ramsdell.

Jill and Raelynn VanZee are hopping on a plane this week to visit family in South Dakota. Please pray for their safe travel. Let's also pray for Brian and little Breeley while they're here at home while Jill and Raelynn are out of town.

Let's keep praying for Steve May's dad. He's still battling Parkinson's disease as well as some other symptoms related to dementia. Please pray for better days for Steve's parents.

Jennifer May has a friend whose husband recently lost his job. Please pray for him and his family while they find new work.

Vince Erickson also has a prayer request related to his brother. He recently decided to leave teaching and begin working for an oil company in Oklahoma. Please pray for Vince's brother while he goes through this time of transition.

Last but not least, Brad Burney has asked that we pray for one of their little ones, Brittain (sp?). Brittain came down with a sickness this morning. Please pray for better health.

NEW BOOK NEXT WEEK!

Don't forget that Steve May will begin leading us through a new book next week. For more on the book, click here. I look forward to hearing everyone's thoughts on the book!

Dana and I hope that all of you have a great week.

See you next Sunday!

Wes and Dana
