Remember Wanda and Hayley as Hayley undergoes treatment for Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. She has had flu-like symptoms with headaches, cramping, and pain for several days. If test results come back negative, she can stop the medication, but the doctor wanted to start it as a precaution due to the seriousness if the test is positive. Pray it is just a vrus and for negative test results (and a quick recovery).

Doug Atwood
Toni Shaw (Trinity OFWB Church) asks that we remember her father, Doug Atwood, in prayer as he has undergone back surgery at WakeMed and faces several more days in the hospital followed by a week or so of therapy. She says all went well and the doctors are pleased with what they were able to accomplish. He is the brother-in-law of Ann Markham, Inez West, and Penny Barbour, and the uncle of Sandra, Connie, and myself.

Chris Barton to Iraq
Connie & Billy’s oldest son is returning to the Middle East. This will be his third tour of duty there since he entered the Naval service. Please remember him and the family as well as all our servicemen and women around the world.
School to be named
If you are interested in having the new elementary school being built beside Stan Jones’ house named for the community of Powhatan, you can contact Bd. member Donna White — 733-0440 to voice your vote (or any other board member). The original building on the church land was Powhatan School in the late 1800s/early 1900s.
New School Year
Remember our young people as school is about to start back and our college students, as well. I ask for prayers for my daughter to get a part-time job she has applied for this semester. Thanks for all the prayers for my Papa who continues to improve. He will turn 91 next month.
