Prayer is at the heart of our
ministry. It connects us to God and to each other. Please lift
up our church, our city, our state and nation and the world in your prayers.
Pray that God's will is done and that he might use you in some awesome
way.
The Lifeline: Prayer is
the vital link to God that offers us an
opportunity to walk with Him
every day.
Michael Duntz broke
his arm while skateboarding with friends. Think of him in your prayers...
Mark Dunaj went into the hospital to have his kidney stones removed
and he believes a combination of prayer and strong will allowed him to
get out and pitch for the softball team the next night. Guess
what? The team won! Think of Will Willey in your
prayers. He has been having a tough time as his body is building
up fluid... He had it drained and is just feeling a little
punk now... Rosie and Les Main had a terrible time as they
planned to move from East Lyme to Waterford.. The deal fell through
on the day of the closing. They are upbeat and now believe it may have
been for the best... Tim Caufield is a friend to some in the
congregation and he needs our prayers. He is battling cancer and
we are asking for a miracle.. Barbara Bray went in for
a foot operation and came out of the surgery successfully. We thank
God for the good news... Betty Watson goes in to have a cyst
removed from her knee on September 10. Hopefully the surgery will
be straightforward... Melinda Brick's oldest son needs our
prayers. He has been going through a tough time and he is an expectant
dad! Pray for the family... Bob Buchowiecki is getting a little
stronger every day. He and Doris Royce, both of our recent
heart by-pass patients, are up and doing well and cheering each other
on... We think of Lloyd Cochran in prayer as he fights some health
concerns... Lift up Harry and Betty Eisan in prayer as they return
to Connecticut for follow up tests with doctors this week. You can
send them a note in care of their daughter Beth, 95 Brook Rd, Milton,
MA 02186.
We give thanks for Amanda
Guillemette's reunion with her younger sister. They had been
separated for the last six years after the children were put in foster
care. When the church group went to the Navigators last month the
two girls bumped into each other. What a joyous day!
Kathy Hundley did a number on her ankle recently. She had
to take it easy and let the men do some of the work around the house while
it healed. She is doing better now so we can say it was "mixed blessings."
Laura and Ken Kreger announced that they were expecting their first
child early next year. Actually future grandma, Nancy Sederquest
, announced it in church for all to hear... Chris and Gary Reeves
are also expecting another baby in the near future. We
pray for a healthy and safe delivery... Dave Murray's son
and his wife had a baby and so did Regina Grillo's sister and her
husband, both after pregnancies where concerns were offered up in
prayer in recent months. Both families had safe deliveries... Henry
Pendleton's sister Roberta is in need of prayer. Her outlook
is not too good. Pray God will deliver her one way or another...
George Rezendes goes in to have his wrist x-rayed this week. We pray
the healing is done and he no longer needs the cast...
We think of all our children
going back to school this month and the teachers who will serve them.
Pray God gives both teacher and student the patience and understanding
to do their very best... We think of the college students going off
to campuses near and far and we ask God to watch over them... We think
of all our married couples and pray God blesses them with an appreciation
of one another. Too many couples take one another for granted until
something happens... We also pray for our families that are
going through transitions. Some are breaking apart, others
are facing the loss of their older parents. We can thank God that
he knows what we are facing and wants to walk with us in the changing circumstances
of life...
