COVENANT PRAYER CONCERNS

Ongoing Health Needs:   Judy Dance, Arnold and Ola Dooley, Steve Granski, Dot and James Humphries, Gayle Johnson, Mary Tamblyn, and Lynn Wheeler. 

This group has the task of overseeing all events, retreats, and outreaches for our youth group, by supporting and sometimes attending.  The A-Team is a team of volunteers and they works closely with the Student Leaders in making sure all the planning, implementation, execution, and follow up is carefully carried out.  Please commit this team to prayer for the month of March as we plan the summer and as we seek the Lord on behalf of our youth at Covenant. 

This team is made up of Lisa Brannon, Denise Joiner, Bethany Lambert, Cason Rainwater, Kathryn Rainwater, Jillann Starr, Benjamin Starr, and Chris Winters. 

Other Prayer Requests:

• Our non-Christian friends, family members, classmates and co-workers that they would soon repent and turn to a saving faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
• That the Holy Spirit would continue to develop within us a Chronically Pained Heart for the lost.
• For the church officers, Sunday School teachers, Pioneer Club and Youth Group leaders
• For the expecting mother
• Those members and friends that are job hunting
• The elderly shut-ins of our congregation and those recovering from a recent surgery
• The missionary families Covenant Church supports

Update on Lynn Wheeler 

03/08/2010  

"Sing to the Lord a new song..." Psalm 149:1b

The Lord has blessed us with a new (for us) home in Fayetteville close to family, church, and our church friends.  We love our friends and neighbors in Stockbridge, but we were blessed to find a house with an open floor plan and a bedroom on the first floor.

Driving again

I believe it was the right move as Lynn has been driving her wheelchair in the house each day.  She almost never drove in our former home - everything too close, I guess.  She told me today that she did not think she would be watching much TV this week as she would be working around the house getting things decorated.  On Friday and Saturday we had family and church friends come over to be Lynn's hands.  No surprise there -- our church is always there to help us out.

Todd helped Elizabeth get Lynn to bed Friday night so that I could do other things.  He asked Lynn if she should have bed rails on her bed.  She said, "I don't have a tendency to move much."

No internet yet, so I am writing using my BlackBerry -- slow going with my large fingers.

Tonight when we were getting ready for bed and listening to Christian music, Lynn was singing along.  I told her that I didn't remember her singing at night before.  Of course I was weeping while she kept singing.

Father, we thank you for encouraging us with this nice home which is much more accessible for Lynn.  May we use all that we have and all that we are for your honor and glory.  As always we thank you for the encouragement of family and church.  Forgive us of our sin' we pray in Jesus' holy name' Amen.

Love,

Doug and Lynn and family
