These 7 sisters have both parents in prison and are living with an Aunt who is herself pregnant
and has other health issues. I was calling around yesterday looking for help for them and
one group asked what they wanted for Christmas so when I asked they said clothes, shoes
and backpacks. They are desperate.

Just email me if you have items and thanks for looking!!

Sunday Dec 14th

Stephanie West has asked us to pray for her sister, Suzie. She has to have surgery biopsy in January to see if she has breast cancer.

Please pray for Amber Thompson's, daughter, Mary Conley, who hurt her knee while playing soccer. She has a severe bone bruise in her knee and needs to stay off of it for healing.

Please pray for Dori Mattson's brother, David Weems, who has cancer. He will begin aggressive chemotherapy today. This will probably make him very sick, but hopefully help him to live longer than was originally thought. He lives in Houston with his wife and children.

IF you were in Sunday school, you were blessed to hear about the Christmas Giving testimony of a selfless 7th boy, son of Melissa & Fred Youmans. As we hear how a young youth can forego his own gifts at Christmas to give to an unknown child some Christmas joy/gifts may we be moved to be as selfless and giving as he. Thank you for sharing that testimony and uplifting us all, Melissa.
"Give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, they will pour into your lap. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return." Luke 6:38.
