CHURCH FAMILY
The Furniss Family would like to express “our gratitude for all the ways the church family expressed kindness and love during this time of sorrow regarding the death of Pastor Shaun’s dad, Dave. ‘We are thankful that we get to be a part of such a compassionate family that has shown us the love of Christ well’.”
AT HOME MEMBERS
Alma DeKock lives in her condo in Zeeland.
Dale VanderYacht lives in his condo in Zeeland.
Bonnie Bergman: We give thanks to the Lord that Bonnie was able to have surgery to remove a bowel obstruction and had a pacemaker placed at Spectrum Health-Butterworth. We are thankful for the progress she has made allowing her to be transferred to SKLD in Zeeland this past Wednesday for therapy.
Terry Boerman: Please keep Terry in your prayers as he anticipates an upcoming appointment with a heart specialist on August 18 to address the multiple bouts of rapid heartrate that he has been experiencing. We pray that they would be able to determine the cause and provide relief to this condition.
Betty Kroll: Please remember Betty as she continues in her daily radiation treatments and weekly chemotherapy treatments. We pray that these treatments would prove to be effective in eliminating her skin cancer.
Al VanKlompenberg: We give thanks to the Lord that Al was able to return home after a stay in the hospital to address some bleeding on the brain that had caused some impairments. We pray that these impairments would be relieved and that he would continue to recover well at home.
Von Vis: Please pray for Von as she continues in her recovery from eye surgery. We pray for the Lord’s mercy during this time of healing and her inability to visit with Marlin these past months.
Ron & Marianne Vos: Please remember Ron & Marianne’s daughter, Connie, in your prayers as she had surgery this past Wednesday to have her thyroid removed. We are thankful that she is doing well and pray she would make a full recovery.
