• We are looking for a Baby sitter during our services. We want to have young couples come to the service but with children it is not very conducive. So, currently we will have 1 or 2 one and a half year old little boys, my grand sons. Bonni and I will pay $20 for the baby sitting during the service. As you know Esic has a wonderful nursery and playroom for the children. If interested please let me know. Thank you.

Prayers: 

• Sheryl Burian, Sheryl has had one of her knees replaced this past week. She is home recovering! We pray that God will give her strength and patience during this time of healing.

• Sandy Peterson, Sandy has also had a knee replaced this past week. I spoke to Butch yesterday and he said she was coming home to heal. We pray for both Butch and Sandy for Gods strength and healing!
• Keith Sedlacek, I received news this week that Kieth is doing better and will now begin a new therapy. He will have a new CT scan this next coming week and we pray that this scan will show remission and healing. Keith was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer.
• Beverly Farm, Please lift the Beverly Farm Caregivers in prayer. They are greatly understaffed and they are working hard with a lot of overtime. They need God’s strength, patience, energy, and peace. Also pray that God will send the right people to fill the many care giver openings and for God’s wisdom and strength for the current management team at the Farm.
• Rusty Burian, Rusty is having severe nerve pain into his legs from a pinched nerve in his back. We pray for God’s healing grace and strength as he prepares for corrective surgery.
• John Grant.  John we continue to lift  up to the perfect Healer for his heart issues. He is scheduled to get a procedure soon that will help him get back to a more normal life. We pray for success for this procedure.
• Stephanie Powell, the daughter of Mary Knapp. Stephanie is facing an extremely difficult situation with her mentally handicapped 30 year old son who lives with her. He has gotten aggressive and violent and she cannot find a facility to help her. Let’s pray for God to intervene with an answer for her and her son Conner.
• Michelenne Bounds, one of Bonni’s best friends, is having some serious eye problems due to a degenerative form of arthritis. Please pray for God’s intervention and healing touch.
• Susan Dedmon, Susan is the sister of John Grant. John called me this week and asked for prayers for his sister because she has also been diagnosed with congestive heart failure. She was struggling with fluid in her lungs so we need to lift her up to the healer of all healers. We ask for your love, peace, mercy, and healing strength for both John and his sister Susan.
• Mary and Leland Knapp, Mary is having trouble with her eyesight and Lee is having some issues with his walking. We ask for God’s mighty hand of healing and love and peace for the both of them.
