New Prayer Requests
Update from Sue thanks for praying:
I'm sure she would appreciate your continued prayers for her comfort and patience (and endurance, she says she's already bored!:) Charlie (her son) is 17 months and quite active as you can imagine. Fortunately, her husband's family is in Dallas and they have friends that will be helping out. My mom may fly down later this week too. Anyway, thanks for being my virtual support system, you guys were the first people I wanted to inform. See you soon - Sue
New prayer request from Sue Wager re: her sisters pregnancy :
My sister just called, she's on her way the hospital. She's due January 11 and has been monitored throughout this pregnancy for a low placenta. She had another ultrasound yesterday that revealed it was still placenta previa and the baby was traverse (sideways). They had scheduled her for an induction (and likely c-section) on January 5, but she just experienced a large gush of blood and has been bleeding ever since. Per her dr., she is on her way to labor and delivery and is very scared (she's read all the things that can happen w/ previa). So, all that to say, please pray for her and the baby's safety. Thank you all so much - Sue
New prayer request from Leigh Morris:
Greetings,
Hi Gals - thank you so much for your encouraging words and thoughts, it really meant a lot! Gretchen and baby seem to be fine. They've monitored her all afternoon and have determined she's not in active labor (although, she's dialated to a 3-4). The baby has moved head down, which is unexpected and great news! They are guessing the bleeding came from her placenta pulling away a bit, so they are having her stay in the hospital until Thursday and then low to no activity for 3-5 days after that. She's at 35 weeks and they want the baby to stay in as long as possible. Our family is thankful for this news, as we had quite the scare this afternoon.

New prayer request from Leigh Morris:
Greetings,
My name is Leigh Morris and I work for a not-for-profit organization, Triality, Inc. We are currently recruiting volunteers for our volunteer program. We have two facilities in the area. Our Tots center is a stone's throw from your church in Pleasant Valley!
The Triality Tots center is located in Pleasant Valley, and provides services to children ages birth through Kindergarten, some of whom have special and/or medical needs. There are opportunities for helping in any of the classrooms, although the infant room is usually very popular as there are always babies that need rocking. We also have many small maintenance jobs that would benefit from someone's loving attention. The adult center in Liberty has four to five classrooms of adults with special needs, and could use help with activities, lunch time, community outings, etc. We are happy to accommodate many different schedules, time commitments or interests. If any of your members have special hobbies or skills they would like to share, that would be welcome as well. The hours at Triality Tots are 7:00am to 6:00 pm; the hours at Triality Day Hab are 9:00am to 4:00pm.
Triality provides much-needed services to both our clients and their families. Several of our families are only able to continue working because of the day-time care that we provide for their special needs children. We strive to provide the highest educational, medical and therapeutic care to our clients; however, we would be extremely grateful to accept involvement from the communities in which we operate and serve. Government funding has been cut considerably in the last few years, resulting in a shrinking budget from which we can operate
Thank you in advance for your assistance. We look forward, hopefully, to working with members of your congregation. Happy Holidays! (I apologize for using this portal to submit my request, but couldn't find an e-mail address anywhere on your site, and no one answered the phone this morning.)
Best Regards,
Leigh Morris, R.N.

update / request from Sean Hoeflicker
Subject: Sinnett/Buskirk Updates
Good morning all,
Just trying to keep everyone updated. Richard is still at NKC Hospital (room 994). For those of you that may not know, he had knee surgery last Wed and after two ER visits was readmitted for emergency surgery on Tuesday due to a serious infection. They are guessing it is a staff infection but because he had been on antibiotics already for 5 days they are unable to say conclusively. It spread quickly and was very painful but the doctors caught it before it got beyond his leg so they are optimistic that they will be able to get it under control soon. They are still keeping him at this point and said he "might" go home tomorrow but their hesitation says a lot. He is still fighting a tremendous amount of pain and swelling. They will be sending him home with IV antibiotics that he will need to stay on for 2 weeks prior to finishing out with another 2 weeks of oral antibiotics (if that gives you any indication of the severity of the infection). He is going rather stir crazy and if any of you have a moment to stop by it would be greatly appreciated, just call before you come to make sure they don't surprise us and send him home. My cell: 913-963-7758.
My mother had brain surgery on Monday and is at home doing well so far. Please keep her infection free state in your prayers as she goes in for her second surgery next Tuesday and it is crucial that she remain healthy.
Ashley is over her salmonella food poisoning and back at school.
That's it for now. If you have questions please don't hesitate to call. Thank each of you for your prayers and well wishes.
Jenn

Kidzmall and Bukwini Boutique this weekend. Praying for success and for much interaction between those who serve with those looking for a new kind of community. Praying for the Holy Spirit to infuse all of us with servant hearts and love for others all others.
Roy 'twittered' this morning "How can a person consider others more important than themselves without the consumption of grace " so praying in this area we become voracious consumers.
What, what did you say.... you say don't twitter? Join in the fun!
May be even another way to get prayer cues.
