Saint Paul's

Mary Anne Wilson called me today. She had just gotten a call from her Dr. They want make an appointment with a neurosurgeon as soon as possible. The tumor she has had for over a year has grown considerably. She feels surgery is what the Drs. are planning but wont know until the appointment. This is the biggest of her many health issues. She and Rick really need her church family to pray for the Drs. to do what they can to releive her of the pain. She and Rick need comfort and strength to see them through this challenge.

Please pray for Doris Dye's son, Terry Bundy. Terry was diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer on December 6, at Mayo Clinic. He is presently there, recovering from brain biopsy. The doctors will meet with him and his wife, Connie, today (Dec. 8) to determine the best type of therapies. Pray for healing, comfort, peace, and direction. May Terry and his entire family experience the presence, power, of love of our Holy God.
