Greetings, Friends, in the name of our Savior, Jesus!
It is now the new season of Lent. We kicked it off with dispensing Ashes on Wednesday in front of the Tucumcari Public Library. After advertising it on Facebook, it turns out there are quite a few people who came out specifically to receive ashes on their foreheads. Many said they would miss their own church service and they appreciated the opportunity.
Prayer requests:
Kurt Goldston (David's brother) - possible stomach cancer (to find out today)
Glenda Coles - will have foot surgery this week (March 4), to re-break foot
Lorraine - Teresa Gallegos-Brake's daughter - trouble swallowing, will have procedure late March
For the fight to quell the Chinese coronavirus (2019-nCoV)
Family and friends in grief for Joy Moon
Tom Anderson - chemo treatment
Larry Loy (former Presbytery Stated Clerk) - recovering from quadruple bypass surgery
Elmer Anderson (Tom's brother) - fell and broke hip, family and caregivers need prayer too
For Travelers
Mary (anonymous request) - in hospital with broken neck
The Mericle family - many different health problems
Ruth Johnson - leg pain
Julie Sursa - leg pain
Jenna Morris - continuing knee problems
