July 20 Prayer Requests and Notes

Our condolences go to Ann Dale and Cathi Adams in the death Sunday afternoon of their daughter/sister Diane, whose battle with cancer ended.  Please pray for Diane's husband and family as well as Ann and Cathi.  Andy turned in a card this morning asking for our prayers for strength for them.  He also asked us to pray that God would give him wisdom to say and do what he could during this time of loss in his family.

Karla requested prayers for John, their kids, Becky, Darren and his kids as they go to Camp Irondyke this week.  Prayers for their safety and for it to be a fun time for them.  Also prayers that she won't be "a worry wort."  Paige asks, "Please pray for the Williamson family as they are in Oregon.  Help them have a safe trip."  A few other cards asked briefly for the Williamsons to be safe as they travel.

Multiple cards ask us to pray for Rentz Gullick as he undergoes chemo treatments for his cancer.  He has been struggling with lack of energy and tiredness.  His next series of chemo treatments will be Tuesday-Thursday of next week.

Please keep Karee Blunt in your prayers. She was not feeling well today.

Notes from Trevor Hasenoehrl and Jake Hill express their praise that there were unharmed in their fire and that the fire did only a little structural damage to the house.  They ask prayers that God will cause the repairs to fall into place quickly and easily.  (Trevor and Jake need any help we can offer with cleanup after the fire and getting everything ready for renovation work to get underway.)  Contact them about when you might be able to help.
