Sue Arendsen expects to meet with her oncologist this week Thursday, March 18.  Pray for God’s continued guidance and peace for the family as Sue seeks restored health.

 

Rick VanderPloeg underwent successful knee surgery this past Tuesday.  We give thanks that Rick is home recuperating.  Pray that Rick will not experience more pain in his knee and that his knee will grow sound and strong.

 

Marlin Vis has had pain in his back and leg thought to be caused by stenosis.  We prayed at church last Sunday night for Marlin’s doctor visit.  Marlin is happy to report this week that maybe 50% of the pain was alleviated with a shot.  This is a short term answer to prayer.  Let us pray that an MRI will help doctors to get at the root of Marlin’s pain.
