Please continue to pray for Carol Abrams who had emergency surgery this week. Carol is still hospitalized at this time. Prayers for Carol and Red as she recovers.

Please continue to pray for Carol Wright who fell last week and continues to recover from repair of a broken hip. Carol is expected to continue her recovery in rehabilitation at Redmond Hospital before being released. Please keep Carol and Gary in your prayers.

Please keep Red Abrams in your prayers. After returning from the dentist this morning Red fell and hit his head and was experiencing some confusion. Red is in Floyd Hospital as the doctors run diagnostics to ascertain the reason for the fall as well as determine the extent of any injuries.

I received a text from Marni Neal this evening asking for prayers for Carl. Carl has been diagnosed with cancer of the mouth and throat. His mouth and throat have become so raw that he cannot get much down. He Will be in the hospital overnight as they place a PEG tube so that Carl can get necessary nourishment. Please hold Carl and Marni and their family in prayer as they walk this difficult journey! Please check for updates on the church prayer wall. And know that your prayers are efficacious. James, the brother of Jesus, reminds us that we should pray for the sick and suffering and our prayers will be heard (James 5).

Please pray for Linda Waits, elder at Rockmart Presbyterian. Linda has been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor and has declined chemo and radiation as the benefits of treatment are not promising.
