Prayer Requests Submitted Today:

Please pray for my dad as he has 3 CAT scans Tuesday. Pray all will be well. -- Karla Williamson

Shawn's sister-in-law has been in the hospital for a couple of weeks now. She was admitted to ICU and put on a ventilator and a semi drug-induced coma. She was given a 50/50 chance of survival. She had the most severe case of pancreatitis the doctor had ever seen, complicated by a severe staph infection in her blood. She was taken off the ventilator this week and moved to a regular room. She has heart, liver, and kidney damage. The doctor has told us to keep praying as she "should have died in ICU." The doctor admitted that she is in God's hands and her recovery is up to Him. -- Aleicia Boomer

Please continue to pray for my niece, Chelsea Eby. She came thru her surgery on Wednesday very well and will now be at home recovering for several weeks. Please pray for a quick recovery and that her cancer will not return. -- Rodney Blunt

Please pray for our daughter Brandy and her family. They're all having many struggles and difficult times right now. -- Judy Hill

Please pray for the family of Julia Smith, who passed away from cancer last week in Pensacola, FL. Especially pray for Katie Lindsey, who is Julia's ninety-something year-old-aunt who has lived with Julia for several years. I talked with "Aunt Katie" by phone yesterday and she is very upset. -- John Gaines

Picture Board: We're working to get a picture board put up in the hall showing all our Skagit Valley church family. The easiest way is to let Trish Gaines take your picture any time over the next three weeks. If you already have a picture you would like to use: (1) If it's digital, email trishgaines@gmail.com -- (2) If it's a print you can donate it to be used or a non-studio picture can be scanned and your original returned to you. Contact Trish if you have any questions. We encourage everyone to participate.
