t Pray for healing for Angie Rees who had major surgery last

the week. Also pray for a correct diagnosis and treatment plan

for a couple months.
t Pray for treatment options for Al Tennant’s glaucoma and for successful
hand surgery this Thursday for trigger finger and tendonitis.

t Pray for Laurie Luke’s dad, Albert Van Beek, who has MRSA, an antibiotic
resistant staph infection.
t Praise the Lord that Dave Timmer’s tumor on his back continues to shrink.
He will have a CT Scan in January to see if the cancer spots are shrinking
inside his body.
Continued Prayer Requests:
t For all who have had recent illnesses or surgeries;
t For the homebound: Mary Carmichael, Judy Blauwkamp, Kay Everett,
