Prayers for Lynn Rice's Mother
Lynn Rice's mother, Nedra Spiers, has been diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer and has been put under hospice's care. This has all happened within the last 2-3 weeks. Also, her youngest son, Andrew, is getting married tomorrow, (September 17th), so needless to say she is under a huge amount of stress. That being said, I am watching God at work in her as she continues to trust in the Lord, knowing that He is in control of it all and is walking with her every step of the way. Please keep Lynn and her family in your prayers.
GLYASDI,

Brian Kelley
My dear friends,
This will probably be the final e-mail about Brian until a true miracle happens. The situation has become like a ridiculous horror movie with our poor boy as the unwitting pawn.
This Tuesday, Sept 6th, will mark 21 days since we have seen him or heard anything about his recovery. Apparently the moon cycle has affected Cathy, his mother, and turned her into Dr. Jekyl. She issued strict orders to Brooks Rehab that no one but mother and father could see Brian, and to that end, we don’t even know his room number. We don’t know if he is able to walk yet, if the trach is still in, or at what level he is functioning. There is no communication with her at all. Gayward did track down and speak to Mike, the father, but he stammered and stuttered and had nothing to say except that an attorney had advised them. An attorney? Is that where the $20,000 Mike said was raised at the Benefit went? Katy checked - none of that money made it into the bank account .She still has no idea if Cathy got Medicaid to cover his bills, or if Brooks would be paid from the $20,000, or just what is going on. We’re fairly sure Cathy is making certain Katy’s name is not spoken around him.
We’ve had to put up big gates and No Trespassing signs on our property where our girls live. Samantha’s (Brian’s sister) husband, Shaun, has threatened to come and repossess all Brian’s stuff. Samantha’s best friend from school whom Brian dated while in high school, leaves her husband and child in Longwood, Fla, to come up here on weekends to see them. She makes sure to post on Facebook how good it was to “see his sweet face” and how wonderful Cathy is and how her old feelings are resurfacing. She’s also called and left ugly messages on Katy’s phone. And now my daughter, who has been a lady up to this point and not responded to any of it, is a little afraid of being by herself in her own home.
If this were a movie to rent at the Redbox, you would pass it over without a 2nd glance. To be living in it is more than surreal. I am reluctant to even tell you this much, and there is more, but it’s equally as embarrassing. Brian would be so ashamed of his mother and family. No wonder he was embracing a new life and coming to church – he was hungry for normal people and something better.
Cathy has burnt so many bridges that I actually feel sorry for her. To have a mind that screwed up must be a torment sometimes. I do pray that God will break her spirit and soften her heart – she’s not the sort of person to have around a person recovering from a brain injury much less a little grandson. The devil has a pretty good foothold in her and there is need of an exorcism! But I have to thank her for one thing – this pathetic melodrama she has cast us all into has caused me to have a much stronger faith in The One Who is in charge. My Bible stays open on the table; I pray more frequently, and I am more aware of the plight of others. I have to remember that even though my family is being attacked and my daughter broken hearted, our Lord has to deal with many cases of His people being stupid and hurtful to each other – and yet, He is singularly aware of Katy’s grief and He has heard the hundreds of prayers you and all of us have sent on Brian’s behalf. He has a plan and a time table for it to unfold. I hold tightly to that. So does Katy.
Thank you for being our supportive and loving friends and family, and upholding Katy in your prayers. Pray that Brian calls her name and will not rest until he sees her.
His Name is Wonderful,

Prayer for Pastor Dan Kilts
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
Please hold Pastor Dan Kilts and his family in your prayers. There are some recent and on going health concerns with his family causing a great deal of stress. Please pray for comfort, peace and the wisdom to remember that all is in the hands of our Divine Lord and Master.
This I ask in HIS name,
Tom GambitskyPrayer for Britton Chobert
Dear Community:
Please pray for Britton Chobert ( my dau in law's nephew )who is having his second brain surgery today, to treat a walled off cyst in his brain which contains infection. This has been an ongoing battle for Britton and his family, having lasted from the beginning of the summer. Doctors hope to remove as much of the infection as they can and to make a way for the antibiotics to work.
Britton has seen God in all this, but it is has been hard. He is 15 and loves to be active: surfing and participating in sports. Pray for God's mercy and healing touch ( that his brain will not swell, and that the antibiotics will be able to work ) and for peace for his Mom and family.
Thank You
Marty Wagner

Prayers for Grandson
Lynne and John McCrork request your prayers for our 15 year old grandson Casey who is a good kid who made an incredibly stupid and uncharacteristic mistake and is being tried as an adult. His family and extended family are devastated and ask for your thoughts and prayers to guide the judge to a fair and just decision and for comfort for his family.
