Please continue to keep Mary Harris in your prayers, for continued recovery, following her accident. Here is an update:
Doug and Mary are very thankful for your prayers for Mary! They arrived home to Maine on Thursday, with the Lord granting them pretty smooth sailing through the ordinarily high traffic areas. They thank the Lord she is only needing Tylenol for pain. Mary has a concussion and needs quiet and rest. She cannot use 'screens' (phone, computers) or straws. She needs to protect the nasal cavity (e.g., cannot forcefully blow nose). She has double vision most of the time. Mary sees a physician on Tuesday and an eye doctor Friday. Pray for healing of the eye area and that the concussion resolves soon.

Prayers for Tami Sheard
Tami is asking us to pray for her. She is hospitalized for problems related to her liver, kidneys, and pancreas. All three are not working properly and her kidneys seemed to have stopped working in the last 24 hours. Please pray for her physical healing as well as freedom from fear and anxiety.

Update from Doug Harris: "Answer to prayer, the surgery team has concluded that Mary will probably not need surgery and she will be released this evening. The swelling around her eye may get worse over the next two days so pain and nausea may be a problem. So travel plans for going home will have to be decided day by day. Please thank everyone for their prayers. Our Atlantic family is the best!"
In Christ,
Doug

Doug Harris contacted us, asking for prayer for Mary Harris - Doug and Mary Harris are dear friends and a part of our church family, now living in Maine. While travelling in Richmond, Virginia, Mary fell and had serious fractures in bones around her face. She has been to the hospital and was sent home (still out of town), but experienced nausea and concerns that the breaks are impacting her ocular nerves. She will have follow-up and there may be a need for surgery. Please pray for pain relieve for Mary, comfort and peace, and that the doctors can determine the best course of treatment.

Gideons Scripture Blitz
Our church’s Gideon members are asking us to join them in praying for an outreach taking place this week. The Gideons are doing a Scripture Blitz in Washington DC May 20-24. This means that literally thousands of Bibles and New Testaments will be distributed and placed in the Metro Area. Pray that God’s Word will change hearts and lives.

Shirley Ferguson prayer update
Shirley is about to begin five weeks of cancer treatment, hopefully as soon as next week. She will be having both radiation and chemotherapy, and would very much appreciate our prayers. Please pray for strength and endurance, and that the treatments will be effective against the cancer. Thank you so much to all those who have been praying already, as well as for the prayers that will be offered in the weeks ahead!
(Shirley's treatments will be in Des Moines. They will be five days a week for five weeks. The church will be helping coordinate rides back and forth. The details are still coming together, but if you would like to be on the list to help, please reach out to Joanne DeArment. More details will follow when they are available.)

It is with great sadness that we let our Church family know that Dad (Don) went to be with the Lord on Monday. Please be in prayer as we begin the preparation for his Celebration of Life Service. Servicing are pending.

Severe pain, surgery for infection, IV antibiotics, low oxygen and pneumonia. Thank you so much for prayers for answers and healing and peace.
