PRAYER REQUESTS:

Our fervent Prayers continue for Leo Beneventoand his family.

They may move him from picu to the bone marrow floor soon!!! Amen

The surgical team is happy that the right lung and surgical site looks great! Unfortunately, the left lung shows pneumonia which they are currently treating.

While it is common for something like this to happen after having a breathing tube in for so long, the team is on high alert because they know that the fungus can be aggressive. The surgical team is on top of every aspect of Leo’s situation. We give much thanks to God that he has come this far. Continued prayers for healing and for Gina, VJ Bob & JoAnne, and all of the family as they are all going through this storm together.

Anthony Katz is doing good from his eye surgery, no infections. The doctor said his headaches and pain are part of the healing process. All looks good. Thank God

CONGRATULATIONS to Ann Gladue who was baptized immediately following Ron’s sermon last Sunday. The Angels in heaven are singing praises! Lord willing we can all reach out to Ann on Sunday to encourage her.

CONGRATULATIONS TO TORI SARACINO for the last performance at her school for the marching band season. All of the seniors were honored and it was a great day for all!

Psalm 100

A psalm. For giving grateful praise.

Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth;

Worship the Lord with gladness;

come before him with joyful songs.

Know that the Lord is God.

It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving

and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.

For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;

his faithfulness continues through all generations.”

Praise him, all his angels;
praise him, all his heavenly hosts.
Praise him, sun and moon;
praise him, all you shining stars.
Praise him, you highest heavens and you waters above the skies.

Let them praise the name of the Lord,
for at his command they were created,
and he established them for ever and ever—
