Pray for the youth and youth leaders who will be traveling back home from camp in New York tomorrow.  Pray for their safe travels back.

Karen Wagnon requests prayers for her mom (Elizabeth) who is being admitted back to the hospital today.  She has been experiencing severe pain again in her back and side.  She has had some scans and blood work done and is waiting to be seen by the admitting doctor.  Please pray that the doctors can figure out what is going on with her and that she would feel well again soon.

Karen requests prayers for Kelly who is dealing with a medical situation.

Prayers of praise for Erica and her husband who are the proud parents of a baby boy.  As you will recall, we have been praying for Erica who was admitted to the hospital earlier this week with high blood pressure and swelling.  She did end up having an emergency c-section this morning and gave birth to baby Jackson.  Jackson weighed 6+ lbs. and mom and baby are doing good.

Doc Proctor requests prayers for his family as they mourn the recent loss of his nephew.

Buster Wood shares several prayer requests:
Please be in prayer for Buster's sister (Dorothy) who was just diagnosed with cancer in both lungs.  She is now going through chemo and radiation treatments for the cancer.  Pray for the success of the treatment.

Buster requests prayers for his daughter's granddad who lives in North Carolina and who was just taken off of all life support.  Pray that he would pass away peacefully and without pain.  Pray for his family as they spend their last days with him here.

Pray for Buster's brother and sister-in-law's mom (Elsi) who took a fall and is not doing well. 

Gina Williams requests prayers for her nephew, Timmy Mayhew, who we were praying for while he was deployed to Iraq.  Timmy has been home for a bit, but now has orders to Afghanistan in September. Please remember Timmy in your prayers. 

Gina also requests prayers for her friend Amy, who we have been praying for over the past couple of year.  She has Hodgkin’s Lymphoma that has spread to other areas of her body.  She is on a more intense chemo treatment and needs our prayers for strength, comfort and most of all healing.

Update on Debbie Triance's husband.  Debbie's husband was seen by a nurse practitioner and Praise God does not have skin cancer.  He has seborrheic keratoses a.k.a. barnacles.  This is totally treatable with medication and thankfully is not cancer.

Allen Nuce's mom is not doing as well today.  She was having some difficulty breathing and was to be seen by a cardiologist today.  They are also concerned that she may have a blood clot in her leg.  Pray for her comfort and healing.  Pray also for Allen and family as they make decisions related to her care.
