Prayer for Trudy Rideout's brother, Corey

Trudy has asked the church family to pray for her brother Corey who was diagnosed with Leukemia 4 months ago. He has been receiving intensive treatments, and while the cancer is responding, his blood counts remain very low. He has another 7 days of chemo to go leading up to a bone marrow transplant on Aug. 31st. He is a Christian, just 45, and has a wife and two children who live in Edmonton, but he will have to be in hospital in Calgary for 3 months, which is an added burden. He is understandably concerned about the procedure, distance from family, his blood counts and the side effects that the doctors have described. This is a family that needs our prayer support in this difficult time.

Prayer request from Suzanne Jobb

I would like to request prayer from my church family for my parents, Terry & Sylvia DeYoung. 

Terry had a bad fall 3 weeks ago.  He went for X-rays today and found out that he broke his hip and goes in for surgery in the morning for a partial hip replacement.

My mom took a bad fall at home in November and suffered a concussion as well as injuring her shoulder.  She has daily headaches since and just found out that she tore 2 tendons in her shoulder.  They have decided that instead of surgery due to her age that she will have to do physio.

Please keep both of them in prayer for quick healing, strength and encouragement for my mom as she's been unable to come to church due to the concussion, and for provision while Terry is unable to work.  God is good and we know He takes care of everything that concerns us and never leaves us, so we know He is taking care if His children.

Thank you,  Church! 😊
