PRAYER REQUESTS

Florence, Alabama. Notes of encouragement may be sent to Bobbye Ashley,
c/o Dr. Tim Ashley, 6125 County Road 47, Florence, Alabama 35634.
Debbie
Cole: “Jamie has been diagnosed with melanoma on her wrist.
Went Thursday to UAB to get a MOH surgery done but found out that her original
site for biopsy is infected. So, 10 days of antibiotics, then back for surgery
on her wrist if infection is gone. Asking for prayers that Jamie won’t get depressed over this new diagnosis on top of her
others. We miss you guys and love you all!”
Greenleafs: “1) Please continue
to pray for our neighbor, Erskine Valerie. His progress is slow. 2)
Please pray for Christine Clouser Alexander
who lost her husband, Wes, January 2. He was 34.”
Joan Palmer:
"Please pray for medical challenges - non-COVID related for family in
Louisiana, especially Betty Kirklin (sister), Bruce
Harris (brother), and Claudette Luke (cousin)."
Mike Porter:
“Pray for Greg Parker, who is a good mutual friend of Sam O’Hanian
and I. Greg is an elder at the Chase Park Church and has recently
been diagnosed with an aggressive cancer. I know several folks have sent me
cards – for me it's a reminder that I have cancer, but
it does lift your spirits to know that folks are lifting your name to the Lord.
Greg feels terrible – but he knows the power of prayer. I'm sure it would lift his spirit. Cards may be sent to Greg Parker, 2351 Villaret Drive, Huntsville, AL. 35803.”
