Bartimaeus Baptist Temple

Rejoice with us and pray with us.

We met on Zoom today, and though we’d rather have been together in person, it worked out well enough that we are thinking of using it during the week.  We’re thankful that we have other ways of staying connected.  Debra had a good week.  Kimi enjoyed time with her sisters.

Keep praying for Charlie, daughter of Priscilla’s friend who is still in the hospital recovering from the accident that took her mother and sister.  Kimi has a sore throat and needs her tonsils out or preferably a miracle. Priscilla is suffering with stomach trouble and pain.  She will get the shots for her eye this week.  Pray for God’s peace over her life and for healing.  Debra’s stepfather Tim will have cataract surgery tomorrow.  Pray for Ryan, the director of the DBA who was diagnosed with covid on Wednesday.  Pray for his family  and others who may have been around him.  Dede is having trouble with her eyes and her foot that was broken some time ago.  From the way she describes it, it may not have healed properly.  Pray that she gets the help she needs.  Brenda asks prayer for Lauri, who has lost her sister and may soon lose her brother.  Cathy did not join us because she has not been well since getting the flu shot on Friday.

Be blessed to be a blessing this week.

Rejoice with us and pray with us.

I apologize for the delay in getting these out.  Since most people are getting updates via Facebook and Facebook was down most of the day yesterday I decided to wait until it was up before creating the post.

We were all rejoicing in finally having our homecoming service, which was well attended.  Cindy said she had a good week.  April and Cindy enjoyed getting to talk last week.  Debra is thankful that she was able to attend both of the conferences she wanted to be part of this year.  Rhanda enjoyed sharing a room with Debra at the state conference.  Pam is thankful for a new wheelchair.  Eli and Isabella had praises that I can’t hear on the recording.

Brenda asked for prayer.  She also said that Dede stayed home because her foot is hurting and she has been having problems with her back.  She needs medical attention but has not been willing to get it.  She appears to be suffering from depression.  Brenda’s friend Janet is still in the hospital with covid.  Jay asks prayer for the family of Wes Spiegel (forgive if I didn’t hear right) who passed away from covid.  Two friends of Jay’s brother are in the hospital with covid.  Pray for an end to this virus.  Priscilla has compressed disks that are causing her pain.  Jo Havens has recently had a stroke.  Pam asks prayer for her friend Michelle and for herself.  Cindy asks prayer for her stepfather who is near passing.  Keep her neighbor Wanda in prayer.

Be blessed to be a blessing this week!

Our service yesterday was dedicated to the memory of Ruth.  Some prayer requests were sent via text message after the service.

I will add a request that we remember Cathy and family in prayer as it may be harder now that the activity is all over.  Pray also for Barbara A.  She could not even sit through the service because of her pain.  Cindy asks prayer for her former neighbor, Wanda, whose health and mental acuity continues to decline.  Pray for Cindy’s brother Mike who is in ICU with Covid.  April lost her cousin Chriscynthia to Covid.

Cindy praises God that she was able to improve her financial situation.  I’m looking forward to our homecoming service on Sunday.

Be an answer to prayer this week!
