- Lorne Pysher had valve-replacement surgery on Tuesday...and is now home recovering. Please pray for his healing and for Sharon helping him.
- Thanks for praying for Doreen Jones' great-grandson Cody, who was able to fly home to Calgary with his mother after having the flu all week.
- Karen Stauffer continues to recover at GNGH, and the medical team have decided thought it best for her to be in London. Don & Karen will be with her son and family and getting home visits. Her Dr in London who worked on her 3 joints previous, still has her as his patient. The transition might be in the next few days. Thank you to the church family for your acts of kindness and prayers.
- Please continue praying for overall church ministry, for ministry leaders, life group leaders, discipleship triads, children and youth ministry teams, outreaches, and of course, our regular Sunday morning ministries in worship services and Sunday School..., for our responsiveness to God's Word both personally and in group studies. Pray that we will be steadfast in standing on the truth, and be life-giving in our witness to those who need Jesus!
