Sunday January 11th

Praises:
Mary Conley Thompson received a good report from the doctor about healing in her knee.

Requests:
Jill Jones will be having surgery for her brain tumor on Thursday in Dallas. The plan is to remove as much of the tumor as possible knowing that they probably can't get it all. The hope is that if they can remove the root of the tumor that the parts not removed will die off. Please pray for minimal side effects and a successful surgery. Please also pray for Jill's family as this has been very hard for them. The surgery is expected to last 10 to 12 hours so it will be difficult for her parents. Several of us are traveling to be there with her family that day.

Please pray for Leramie Priest who suffers with bad allergies, especially during this cattle show season time.

Pray for Dana Jones (60), Luther Fore's cousin, who is having difficulty recovering from Pneumonia. She has been in ICU since before Christmas battling heart problems as well. Good news for today, she was sitting up and eating. Please pray for her full recovery.

Chi Alpha - a full weekend where Jr. Hi & Sr. Hi Youth stay in host homes have Bible Study, games, and lots of fun!! Chi Alpha is for FBC Woodway kids, but this is also happening throughout the city at other churches. Please pray for Salvations, growth in Christ, safety, host homes, etc.

Church Revival - starting this Sunday!"

For I am the Lord your God, who upholds your right hand. Who says to you, 'Do not fear, I will help you.' " Isaiah41:13

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.
