Karon Staples was able to visit with her Tuesday (5/21/12)Our class has prayed for Elliot Patterson Williams and her family over the last few months as Elliot has battled cancer and everything that comes with it. Elliot is in the hospital now and we understand from her mother and sister-in-law that the doctors have suspended further treatment because of Elliot’s weakened condition. The focus at this time is to keep her as comfortable as possible. Elliot and her family have shown a deep faith and have been a strong witness for Christ through this trial. Please pray for this special friend to many in our class, for this sister in Christ to all of us, and for her family, as they seek healing and peace.
-The school principals/assistants who will be making teacher placement decisions for our children over the next few months, especially for those involved in elementary school placement where one teacher has such an impact on our children's' lives
-Our marriages
-The safety of our kids over the summer months when they seem more vulnerable to trouble/dangerous situations
-The Summer Missions Trips - both for the people going and the people whose lives they will touch
Have a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend!
