Bethany Friends,

 

A few updates that I am aware of for our prayers:

 

Tom Schoop has slowly gained strength and stamina enough to start working on his boat, and he and Pat hope to be present at worship soon. Tom will continue infusion treatments for a few more weeks as the latest MRI shows remnants of abscesses in his body. We pray for Tom's continued recovery and return to good health.

 

Clay Ching is undergoing medical tests and hoping to determine the cause of the disturbing symptoms he's encountered over the last few months. We pray for wisdom and skill on the part of medical staff, for answers to be found in the tests, and for God's hand of protection for Clay.

 

Wendy Sandor had a mobility setback this past week and is hoping that chiropractic and other medical interventions will get her back off the walker. We pray for relief from pain for Wendy and for her increased strength and ability to move around better.

 

Sandra DuBois will be having another CT scan in May. We pray that the tumor on her liver will have been blasted out by radiation by then and that the scan will show no new cancer growth anywhere.

 

Prayers of Thanksgiving for the birth yesterday of Ivy Ross (great-grand-daughter of Marge & John Fife) and for the successful emergency surgery that her mom, Destiny MacDonald, underwent soon after Ivy's birth. Praise God! Congratulations too to Ivy's dad, Corbin Ross.

 

Shirley Knelleken has moved to a duplex at 116 Orchard Ave in Eatonville. Please note that her mailing address will be PO Box 614, Eatonville, WA 98328. We pray for a good transition for Shirley as she downsizes her living space - may God bless her every day!

 

Kathy Kuper is making a move as well into a living arrangement with some care assistance. We pray for Kathy's well-being and safety throughout and after her move.  (More contact details when we have them.)

 

Easter continues - Jesus is alive and so shall we live,

Pastor Janeen
