This week’s prayer requests

-  Thank God for an attitude of gratitude, for who He is and all the blessings he showers on us daily

-  Thank God for Alive's wonderful time of fellowship and worship on Thanksgiving Eve.  Thank him for handling all the details.

-  Praise God for all the filled shoe boxes for the children in need and imagine their thrilled faces as they receive them.

-  Please continue to pray for all those suffering in any way, for peace in each home, for those who are healing after surgeries or waiting for surgery.  Ask God to give them all a spirit of peace and confidence in God's provision.

-  Remember Mel Vanderbie and Denise Stam.  Ask God for needed rest, for joys, for strength returning to them both.

-  Pray that we grow aware of families and individuals who may be struggling in any way and ask God to help us be the listening ears and/or helping hands they need.

-  Pray for those whose hearts are broken, that God will put them together again and bring comfort.

-  Pray for Pastor Terry as he returns to Alive after time away learning and listening.  Ask God to bring to mind the things he learned as he leads Alive forward in the days ahead.

-  Begin to pray for the summer service project being planned.  Pray that God would move hearts to join, that the group going would be well-balanced. Ask God to go before this group, to this specific place in PA, preparing people, places, and hearts.
