Dear Friends,

Below is a summary of the prayers we lifted to God during worship this past Sunday, as well as some requests that came in over the course of the week.  In order to keep these concerns within our community, we’re only offering the first names and last initials (of those we know):
  
From Sunday, May 10:
From  Janene : Prayers please for the family of my close friends, Dorothy and Kevin "Buzzy" Delaney. Dorothy passed away about a year ago from cancer and her dear husband, Buzzy passed away on Monday, also from cancer. He was diagnosed very soon after Dor's passing. Pray for their sons, Aiden, Kaelan, and Devin. Thank you.
From  Yvetter E: prayer for all those at the frontline especially my husband Ehabe for Gods protection

Prayer Requests from last week via email:
Prayers of thanks that after suffering with the disease since March, Jeff B had his first negative test for COVID-19! Praise God!
 
From Kathy P-P:  Thank you for all your prayers for my brother Gene.
