Prayer Request

Prayer Request from Kristi Thurmon

Please pray for my coworker in Terrell, Nancy Castro.  She was in a terrible car accident Sat. morning and is in ICU at Baylor.  She apparently hydroplaned and hit 2-3 cars.   She has spine fractures and punctured lungs, but thankfully no apparent brain injury or swelling.  She is stabilized for now but in serious condition.   Thank you!

Prayer Request

Prayer Request from Sue Scudder:

The grandson of Ronnie and Linda Baker, Creed, fell on Saturday afternoon in the gym while playing and broke the femur in his leg.  He had surgery this morning, Sunday, at Children's hospital in Dallas where they put pins in the bone and he is doing fine.  He was able to get up on Sunday afternoon and is enjoying all the attention I am sure.

Event/Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?

On Saturday night, Oct. 23rd, 2010 at 6:00 pm, everyone (couples as well as singles) will have the opportunity to renew old friendships or start new ones from our church. All you have to do is sign up to bring either a vegetable, dessert, or a salad, and show up at the church at 6:00 p.m.  Your name will be drawn from one of the three separate envelopes to determine which "Host Home" you will go to with your dish.  The Host Homes provide the meat and drink, and they don't know who's coming to dinner until you show up on their doorstep.  It is a great way to get to know others in our church you may not have had the opportunity to get to know.  To sign up or for more information contact Vicki Ballard or call the church.

Prayer Request/Update

This praise report and update from Bill and Sue Scudder, about their grandson (Scott and Tracy's son) Reed:

Reed was playing in a football scrimmage back in August and tore his ACL, with a partial tear of the MCL and a bad bone bruise to his left knee.  He had surgery this past Monday, Oct. 4th. 

Thank you, thank you, all you that prayed for Reed's surgery, he is at home after having it done on Monday and he will be begin his rehab today.  He is doing very well although a little grumpy from missing school and all the activities that are going on with his friends.  Praise God, the surgeon said that all went as expected and he has done his 10%  and now it is up to Reed to do the other 90 % for a full return to sports.  Thank you again for your concern and prayers.

Prayer Request

THE FOLLOWING IS A PRAYER REQUEST FROM CASEY AND RENAE BRYANS AND ROBERT AND CAROL AS WELL. CASEY AND RENEA ARE ROBERT AND CAROL'S KIDS WHO ARE MISSIONARIES IN ECUADOR.  CAROL SAYS THEY HAVE TALKED TO THE KIDS AND THEY ARE OK. THEY NOW HAVE TWO ARMED GUARDS AT THE GATE OF THEIR STREET, WHICH IS GOOD.  PRAY FOR PEACE IN ECUADOR AND FOR THE SAFETY OF THE CITIZENS AS WELL AS THE MANY NORTH AMERICAN MISSIONARIES.
Please pray for Ecuador.  As I type this, we can hear gun fire between the military and police happening about a mile from our house.  The police are rioting because a law passed last night that they were not going to get bonuses.  The airports have been shut down and roads have been blocked off coming in or out of Quito.  Our kids were evacuated from school today and will not have school tomorrow.  We are home and are safe.  Please pray for peace in Ecuador and for the safety of everyone.  Crime has greatly increased because the police are protesting against President Correa and are wanting to overthrow him.  Thank you for loving our family and for your prayers for the unrest here in Quito and all of Ecuador.
Thanks,
Casey and Renae
