There is a young man in our town that comes to church at least 3 times a month by himself. His family, to my knowledge, is completely un-churched and there is no dad in the picture right now. I don’t know all the details, but I know that for several years he has dealt with some mental issues and some anger management problems. He is 14 years old and attends a facility in our neck of the woods for his schooling. His mom has contacted us to let us know that on Sunday “he really reached out for help” and has been placed in the psychiatric ward. This young man is in desperate need of our prayers. My husband tried to spend some time with him and took him to work several times with him. I have taken him with me on the hour drive to take my grandchildren home to the city on Sunday’s. He is desperate for love and attention. I don’t know specifically what he did, but it doesn’t matter, God knows. I would appreciate prayers for him and his mom as they work through this.

Here are two prayer concerns for the prayer chain. a friend  is one. He is having medical tests today and needs our prayers. The other is for the family of a friend whose mom has passed away. He was active in the Emmaus movement. a friend is recovering very well and that is a praise to God.

Update on my friend who was in a bicycle/vehicle accident recently while visiting her daughter and new son-in-law. Surgery went well and she is doing good. Thank you so much for the prayers.
She will be traveling back home in about a week. Continued prayers as she moves
into a different cast as she heals and travel mercies for her return home.
Her daughter will be driving her home and then returning to as she will
not be able to drive herself for awhile.

Prayers for my parents. My father went on Hospice about a month ago, mom went on yesterday. Prayers for mercy and guidance, patience and peace.

a friend is doing very well but is getting very anxious to go home. He still has therapy every day from 9am till about 4. Keep the cards coming. He is speaking well and knows all visitors, but does not remember the incident. He is up and walking with assistance, healing bones are progressing well. Spleen and liver have healed.
There is a good possibility he will go home on home care the end of June.

Praise to the Lord for his healing hand on our granddaughter and daughter. Today (Monday) she had surgery. With lots of concerns and lots of prayers, God answered all of them. The surgery went very well and now she can get some rest and start healing so that she can participate in her high school graduation on Friday evening, June 22. Please continue to cover her in prayer so that she might heal well and quickly.

Please pray for a friend who has very limited vision and has a cataract on his best eye. If the cataract cannot be removed he will eventually have no vision. He has a consult on the 25th. He is hoping the doctor will determine the cataract can safely be removed. As the children’s song goes…He’s Able, He’s Able….he caused the blind to see. I pray my friend’s vision will be restored.
Thank you prayer warriors.

Hi Prayer Warriors, Please send prayers out for my aunt, she is currently in a Hospital. She was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer (stage 3). She was admitted to hospital on Saturday and then transferred. She is currently receiving blood transfusions and they are performing a scope to see if surgery is an option. Please pray for a good outcome and for her family as they wait for all the tests to be done. She has had a rough go for the last year. One health issue after another.
God I pray that you wrap her and her family in you grace and mercy. That you will guide the doctors and the hospital staff to help her. Lift them to you Lord as we lift our hands and hearts to you Lord in praise of your wonderful healing.

Please pray for a friend. She is scheduled for surgery to remove a tumor on her colon. She also has lung cancer, so there are concerns about the anesthesia. And… the surgery is scheduled on the day of and the day before her grandchildren’s high school graduations. The family has tried to have the surgery date changed, but the doctor won’t budge. Please God…place your healing hands around her…guide the hand of the surgeon and anesthesiologist…and please Lord…give a change of heart to the surgeon about changing the date.
Thank you prayer warriors.

Thanks so much.

We just got word that our grandson just got the results from his Chemo treatment. Doctors said that it is in remission. We praise God for the great news and trust that He will continue to strengthen him and shine his light through him.
We also ask for prayers for our granddaughter and our two great grandchildren.  She has been in an abusive relationship for 3 years. Everyone has tried to share with her. She had Police put him out two months ago. They came back, now went last week and coming back again. Our main concern is the two children as they have no voice { 2 & 1 } He does not provide but only takes away from them { These are his children tt } There is talk that they are now planning to move. He likes a bigger city. We do not feel that this is in the best interest and safety of the children. Plus it is keeping her away from anyone. We pray that God will stop any plans.

Prayer warriors please continue to pray for my husband. The doctor is not happy with the progress on his leg and feels it should be further along. He is referring him to a vascular surgeon and he is still out of work. Please pray for continued healing and that nothing major will be found.

I would like to request prayer again for my mother in law, as she is going in for surgery on her thyroid this morning 6/8. They will be removing half of her thyroid and testing it for cancer. Please hold her and family and Dr’s in prayer through this process and that there is no cancer. The waiting will be very hard for all.

The Herkimer County Relay for Life is this weekend at the Herkimer Elementary School.
Please pray for all the teams involved. Please pray for health and for good weather as they are predicting rain and thunderstorms which makes for a bad turn out.
“Lord I pray for a cure and for your Loving arms to be around all who have or have had any form of cancer. For all the families who have dealt with or who are dealing with this terrible illness. Amen”
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11

Prayer request update:
My mother in law had surgery this morning. Surgery went well, and she is at home resting, but the mass they found was not part of her tyroid like the Dr’s had thought. So they did not take part of her thyroid, only took a biopsy of the mass and sent it for testing. She will not find out anymore results until Wednesday. It will be a very long 5 days as we wait for results. Please keep the whole family in prayer and that the results come back negative for cancer. Also that she has a restful weekend and speedy recovery from surgery.

Prayers needed for my neighbor, her mother passed away today. Prayers for peace are greatly needed for her and her family.

Am asking for prayers for my aunt. She had tests Monday for a spot on her lung. Tests just came back that it is cancer. Asking prayers for support and peace for my aunt and her family and for wisdom for the doctors that they pursue the right course of treatment for her. Thank you prayer warriors.

Please continue to pray for  my husband. The cellulitis in his leg is still pretty bad and still looking like raw meat whenever he puts it down. He has been home from the hospital for almost a week and still can not put full weight on it. He has a doctors appointment today and we hope they can give him something else to speed along the recovery. Surprising what a little spider bite can do.
He needs God’s healing touch and prayer is the best medicine.

On Sunday of the Women’s closing there was a clear plastic trash bag sitting by the back door of the kitchen it had towels, aprons, bread basket clothes, etc. in it. When I went to get it and it was not there. I looked through all the totes in my van and talked to Sharlene, she did not get it either. Does anyone know what happened to it?
Please let me know as soon as possible it you have it or know where it went. I may have to go out and buy material to make more bread basket clothes and aprons.
Thanks a bunch.

This is good news!
a friend was transferred tohospital yesterday June 6th to the rehab unit. He is breathing, eating, and drinking on his own. The halo traction is still in place and will remain intact for at least 2 mos. His family has been visiting day and night and are truly exhausted, but are very joyful at the progress he is making! He has an up hill battle but is ready and strong to meet the challenge and win!
