Prayer Request

Please pray for my husband. He is suffering from acute gout. He struggled through out campmeeting. After the 3rd night of very little sleep due to the pain he had me take him to the hospital this morning. He NEVER misses church sick. He was given a shot of morphine, a shot of toradol, and vicodin for pain. Additionally, he was given a stronger medication than he normally takes for the gout. Unfortunately nothing has diminished the pain. In fact tonight the foot is swollen many times larger than earlier today. The swelling is now to mid-calf.

Late last evening Trent called Bro. Nate Lawrence and invited them to cover our services today. Thankfully they had the day available. CUPC had terrific services!! To God be the glory. We KNOW God is a prayer answering God.

Much love and appreciation for each of your prayers and friendship!
