Prayer request: 

June 2:  John Parham is in need of our prayers
as he manages another round of cancer. He has been diagnosed with Stage 3 colon cancer. A large sized tumor was removed in March.   During that time he had covid and a staff infection which led to being in the hospital, followed by rehab.  He expects to start chemo soon 

May 2, 2024:  Thanks to Sam Moss for sharing news involving a memorial for Walt Leonard (Walt died in 2019)
