Prayers for those traveling this Holiday season. May they stay safe & healthy. And prayers for those who remain at home, especially those at home alone. May they have comfort this Christmas & all the days ahead.
New Prayer Requests
Joy Arseneau: She is the 3 year old daughter of Jordan & Nikki Arseneau. Joy has been diagnosed with leukemia. Praise report from Joy’s mom, Nikki: Joy’s biopsy came back showing .0001% cancer cells in her bone marrow! This puts her in the standard risk/favorable pathway. This is AMAZING news! Barely any abnormal cells detected! Joy must continue with chemo for at least two more years to ensure the disease stays away. This next phase of treatment, called consolidation, will require a lot of doses in her spine with a chemo drug that has given her a few side effects already. The road ahead will still be challenging, but for now, we are celebrating this fantastic report!
Winston Presnall: Pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Orange (Jean Ann’s pastor). Winston underwent surgery on 12/8 to remove his prostate. Winston’s surgery went well. He is recovering at home.
