Prayer of Comfort

Ralph Bynum's surgery was thought to have gone well this afternoon, but he was sent back into emergency surgery around 8:00 PM tonight to repair some internal bleeding. During the surgery, Ralph passed away from an apparent heart attack. Sometimes things happen that we do not understand and we will not know His purpose until we stand in the presence of our Heavenly Father. Please be in prayer for his family and his close friends as they deal with the sudden loss of such a remarkable man. Judy Watson

Update on Frank James

Thank you for the prayers, the cards and the visits. I am home, swollen and stiff. God is so good. I give Him thanks. They removed two disks in my neck and put in a shield, and then they did the Carpal Tunnel on my left wrist. Dr. Banister said it was much worse than he thought. I will be watching Sunday School and Church from home the next week or two, but I'll be thinking of you and praying with you. I ask that you pray for Juana. She has had an ear infection and needs your prayers. Last Sunday was great. The choir was so good. Brother Jerry, I want you to know I DID NOT have my surgery just so I couldn't help you move. Your Brother and Sister in Christ, Frank and Juana James
