Please pray as we advertise ECC and the Welcome Circle topic, "How to talk to your child's teacher." May God bring the people who could most benefit from this. May church members bring their neighbours.

Please pray for Lorraine Nickel. Lorraine flew out to Vernon BC to attend her grandson’s wedding held on June 25th. The day after the wedding, Lorraine ended up in the Vernon BC Hospital with blood clots in the lung and COVID Pneumonia. She has since come off a ventilator and is hoping to be discharged this Thursday to her daughter Candace’s home in Vernon BC to recover. The medical staff are working on dissolving the blood clots in her lungs and the COVID Pneumonia is slowing dissipating.
Please keep Lorraine in your prayers as she will be unable to fly home until she is recovered.

Sheila Henry
Please pray for Sheila Henry's grandson Hayden. He had been scheduled for surgery today to alleviate his seizures. Sadly, the surgery had to be aborted after it was discerned that the location in the brain presented too great of a surgery risk for potential paralysis. Please pray for Hayden, as this will be deeply disappointing news for him. And pray for his family as they face this together.

Sheilla Henry
Please pray for Sheila Henry's 14 year old grandson, Hayden, as he goes for surgery on Friday. The doctors plan to remove a small portion of brain matter in the hopes of stopping Hayden's seizures. Please pray that this is successful, and that there would not be resulting side effects or losses of mobility. And please pray for Hayden, his mother and his sister - that God would draw them closer to Himself and grant them peace.

Yesterday, Sunday, June 12, Jane MacDiarmid's mother, Anne Rutherford passed away peacefully at the age of 104, to be with the Lord. Please lift Jane in prayer as she travels back to Winnipeg for funeral arrangements. Also, please pray for Jane's family during this difficult time.
Jane's quote "The princess is fully redeemed now and will be even more beautiful". Very fitting words for her mother Anne.

Please pray for baby Hudson, son of Megan and Drew. Hudson is currently admitted to Children’s Hospital because he is failing to thrive (not gaining weight).
Please lift he and his family up in prayer and pray for the Drs to figure out why this is happening. At 7 months he is 12lbs8oz. At this point they are considering a feed tube and he will have an MRI in the days to come.

Please pray for my sister Carol who has a very aggressive, inoperable brain tumor. She will be starting Chemo & Radiation soon in an effort to slow the growth (they don’t think they will be able to shrink the tumor). Please pray for healing and that the treatment would go well and be effective. Pray that she would put her faith in the Lord, that He would supply her every need and for strength & wisdom for us all as we do our best to help and support her through this.
