Pray for Kathy Banyai as she will have a third knee scope/manipulation on her knee on August 1 to remove scar tissue and to attempt to gain more knee flexion. Please pray that this manipulation would be her last and that the scar tissue would not grow back and cause pain and stiffness in the knee. Pray for peace for her during the surgery and recovery process. Pray for Linda Vis who has been recently diagnosed with cancer. She is at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN undergoing further testing. Please pray for her and her family as she walks this journey. Continue to pray for Helen Green as she undergoes treatment for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. We would like to thank everyone who remembered us in the passing of our brother Denny. Thank you for the cards, prayers and support. We are thankful to be a part of such a caring church. -- Gene & Cindy Vander Griend
