Lonnie, Get Well Soon!!!!!!! - Please remember Bobby and Rosie Mattingly in your prayers. Bobby was just diagnosed with lymphoma, and he has a large lymphoid mass that will shrink as he gets chemo. Right now, that mass gives him a great deal of pain, along with the surgery he had to biopsy the mass. He recently had a port placed to receive the chemo. It will be a struggle, but one we believe he can win! Pray for Bobby, his wife Rosie, and their extended family. - The Begley Family asks us to remember their cousin, Abe Carman, who is serving in the Armed Forces. Please pray for his safety. - Amy Bland's friend's father had a heart attack, please remember him in your prayers. - Our Christian love and sympathy go to the family of Rev. John Bare, who joined the Church Triumphant on Good Friday, March 21st. A memorial service was held on Saturday, March 29th at 10:30 AM, along with visitation, at First Presbyterian Church in Bardstown, where Rev. Bare was the Interim Pastor. John was the interim at UPC several years ago and we truly enjoyed our time with him. He was fine man and a loving pastor. The world is a better place because of him and he will be greatly missed. Please remember his wife, Edith, and their extended family. - We have been praying during the last year for Amy Corder Bland's friend Justin Riggs, who was deployed to Iraq. Justin is now safe and sound and living in Bardstown!!!! Amy thanks us for our prayers for her friend! Welcome home Justin and we thank you for your service!!!! - Marie Spragens asks us to pray for her brother-in-law, Bobby Barlow.

Please continue to pray for Mike & Carolyn. - Kim Childers requests our prayers for her 9 year old friend, Sarah Goode.

| Prayer Vigil The Prayer Vigil for our Church & Church Family has been extended indefinitely. If you will go to our Church Calendar, you will find the assigned person for each day with the word "prayer" before the name. This is also published in the Newsletter. You are asked to pray for all issues surrounding UPC, and it's members, several times during the day you are assigned. And, this should help us all be more aware of doing this EVERYDAY! |
| Please pray for all our brave troops who are serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. Our gratitude goes to three members of our Church Family who have been honorably discharged from the Armed Services: Dr. Philip Zink, Steve Johnson-Thacker, and Daniel Spurling. Thank You for your service! |
