Merry Christmas!  Rejoice with us over the things that God has done and pray with us over these requests.
Cathy reports that a doner gave us hams for Christmas.  We’re all thankful for that.  Priscilla is thankful to avoid a traffic ticked because the tail lights were out.  Tim was glad to be able to spend time getting to know coworkers.  He rejoices that his car is fixed.  Pastor David thanks the Lord for people who are intent on getting to church.  Anita thanks God that she is feeling better.  I’m thankful for some time off to rest.  John is glad to be alive.  Didi is thankful that her eye is better and asks for prayer that it continues.  Cindy enjoyed time with Tim getting things done this week.  Sarah thanks the Lord for Brenda’s generosity and for the transformation she saw in Shelly.
Ruth asks that we pray for a woman who Martin met who wants us to pray for her husband who is very sick.  Her name is Lupe.  Sarah prays for reconciliation and healing in her new family.  Lupe wants us to keep praying for her granddaughter and her children.  Priscilla wants us to pray for Gabe, the son of a friend of hers and Kim’s.  He is suicidal.  Brenda prays for the father of one of her students who has recently had surgery.  Our new guest Michelle prays for her mother Peggy who is ill.  Pray for Michelle’s employment and relationship situation.  Pray for Shelly and Clark.  Shelly has been laid off until the new year.  Pray for Anna after she was mugged on the way home earlier last week.  She is hurt but ok.
Be a gift this week!
