From:Sheryl Richards

Brethren, I recently texted Merlene Benner, our sister in Michigan who has spent the past two Feast of Tabernacles here with us in Medina, to check on her and see how she has been faring since the Feast ended. She called me back to let me know that she and her friend Sue Ellen, who came with her this year, have not been doing very well since their return to Michigan after the Feast. In November, Merlene, who also suffers from COPD, contracted COVID and she has not been able to recovery fully because of her COPD. Sue Ellen has developed worsened knee problems and feels she will have to undergo surgery soon. She has been unable to complete her normal daily tasks such as cleaning and shopping. Merlene has not been able to complete her daily tasks and neither she nor Sue Ellen have anyone they can call upon for help outside of The Lord. The nearest congregation is many miles away as well and they are both sorely in need our prayers for Blessings and Healing.

From: Becky Swope,

I heard from my son-in-law Bob Dilley Wednesday. He has had the wires removed from his broken jaw. For the next few weeks he can only eat soft foods like scrambled eggs and mashed potatoes. The cyst that was removed ate most of the bone that had existed so new bone has to be regenerated, but it is not yet where it needs to be. He would appreciate prayers that this will heal and develop the new bone that he needs. He and Linda are very grateful for everyone's prayers and for God's intervention. He sees the surgeon again on January 8th to see how he has progressed.

Have a wonderful Sabbath,

Becky Swope

Dear Brethren could you please pray for my nephew Nathan. He went missing on Monday last week but when we finally heard from we learned he attempted suicide late Friday night. He is going through so much I don't know where to begin. He won't talk to anyone. Please pray for him. I'm trying to do what I can to help and asking for your prayers. Thank you all so very much. I am truly grateful."

Let's lift up Nathan and the family in our prayers.

From Becky Swope:
Yesterday I gave my brother Jim a call and learned that he is in the hospital in Huntington, WV. He is there to have a toe amputated. Jim is a diabetic and is 83 years old. In addition to the infected toe that has to be removed, his circulation in his left leg is poor, and the doctors are talking about taking a vein from his right leg and moving it to his left leg, so that he does not face the possibility of ultimately needing his leg to be amputated. He is to undergo testing to determine if his heart is up to the procedure, and to test whether the vein in the right leg is in good shape. I would like to request prayers in his behalf that all will go well and he will not suffer any adverse effects from all this. He, and I, are very blessed that his wife Madeline's children take such excellent care of him. Jim is my remaining sibling and very special to me. I do ask that the brethren pray for him and his safe and swift healing.

Phyllis Brenton, member CGG, had a minor heart attack while visiting her daughter in Missouri after the Feast. She is in the hospital in Springfield, Missouri. She will be having an angiogram and other tests to determine what needs to be done and the doctors may insert a stent. Phyllis and her family would very much appreciate your prayers for God's merciful intervention and healing.

From Anthony Terranova:

I am a YouTube member who lives in central Arkansas. I am watching every week as well as every Holyday for now over 3 years.
I have a very important prayer request for my 2 cousins Raymond and Albert Terranova. First of all, Albert had just received a multi-organ transplant, and he is now in the critical stage of his recovery. But sadly, we lost his older brother Ray this past Monday due to cancer related illness, he was diagnosed less than a month ago.
Needless to say, our whole family is saddened by Ray’s passing so quickly. Please ask the church to pray for the Terranova families, Ray’s family and Al’s family, and my family.
But mostly for Albert; that if it is Gods will, would He please help Al’s body not to reject the organs they gave him & help him to make it thru the deep depression he is feeling and for a full recovery.
Thank you

George Pantelides, long time member of the CGI Medina Congregation had a very tragic event occur to him and his wife this week. He and his wife came home from shopping, parked their car in their attached garage, went into the house to put their groceries away, only to experience their car bursting into flames while in the garage. This resulted in completely burning the house down. God be praised, everyone got out of the house without being hurt, but the loss is enormous! Please keep George and his wife and the rest of the family in your prayers as they go about restarting their living arrangements and rebuilding their life’s routines.
