I had asked the prayer chain to pray for my friends - the Edgmans - whose Dad was diagnosed with cancer in the latter stages. We just got notification that Gary's Dad passed away this morning. Help the Edgman
Family with thoughts and prayers.

My mother, Peggy Benedict, took a fall yesterday and broke both of her ankles. Please pray for healing for her and understanding for my father as he cares for her in the coming weeks.

Please, join the President's Prayer Team in praying for coastal Texas and Louisiana:

For the storm to lose energy and move away from the coast For citizens in need—particularly the marginalized, the ill and the homeless—to have assistance and guidance as they evacuate
For churches to step up and provide shelter, supplies and support when and where possible
For the protection of all involved—for police, fire and emergency medical workers, for those responsible for utilities and transportation and everyday citizens seeking refuge
For deaths, injuries and damage to be minimal

Joanne Fricke wrote the following prayer request:

Please pray for Cole, our grandson, who was involved in a construction accident this morning. He was knocked off a scaffold by a beam, and was unconscious for some time. He is in the hospital, and they will keep him over night, but it appears he has not suffered any severe injury. He does not remember what happened, but was eating a cracker and talking to us when we left. Luckily, he did not fall very far and other workers were there immediately. I have always heard that things come in threes, so hopefully this will be that last for our family.

My Mom in Iowa got home from the hospital on Fri, with oxygen, and seems to be doing ok. I will go tomorrow to spend the day with her.
Verna is about the same, losing weight daily, but can still talk to us some. She is eating very little, and is very week. She did receive communion on Sunday, thanks Jane, for your visit.

We know prayers help, and thanks to all who has offered them to our families.

Milt and Joann Fricke

Please keep Jan Kelpe in your prayers. She is having a recurrence of pain in the leg that broke last winter.

Please keep Kathy Lewis in your prayers. She broke her ankle and will have to have surgery to have a pin inserted.

Hi all - you prayed for my friend Nikki when she had gall bladder surgery a week or so ago. Here is an update today from her husband:

Good Afternoon, Nikki is home and is doing well. She will be back in the office on Monday.
Thanks for all your prayers, we felt them.
