Prayer Items
   1. Continue to pray for Althea Sidney. She has been in and out of the hospital for the past two months recovering from a routine surgery..
   2. Praise for Dave Mills continued recovery, He wrote on April 7th: I have just today completed (assuming the whole day goes well) my first week of being headache free! I am going to begin slowly getting back into my work schedule to see how everything goes. I still have some residual pain but I believe it is part of the healing process. All in all I am quite relieved to have some energy and freedom to get busy again.
   3. From Don Wright: Thank you for praying for my shingles recovery. There is still some residual numbness, but I am basically back to "normal"!
