Shepherd's Prayer

In Our Thoughts & Prayers  

• Betty Williams (sister of Barbara Aldridge) is continuing her chemo treatments, and is doing well at this point.
• Cheryl Cravens is in Sparks Hospital, room 472, recovering from food poisoning.  Cheryl's home was robbed while she was in the hospital. Pray for she and her husband as they account for stolen items and work with the insurance to restore their home.
• Phillip White's father, C.J., has complete kidney failure and is on dialysis.
• Noah Bice (son of Josh & Kim) fell and broke his arm on Monday evening.
• Phillip White is healing slowly, but has a long way to go.
• Richard Broyles is in St. Edward Hospital, room 3402. He was admitted Tuesday night with heart complications, and can have brief visits.
• Genevieve Rhodes is back home after being in the hospital briefly.  Tests show she did not have a stroke.
• Pray for our Bulgaria Mission Team as they prepare for their trip, June 23 - July 7.
