Prayer – Gram from the First Presbyterian Church of Redding
Serving Christ & Community since November 17, 1878

In a world filled with chaos,
we pray because prayer is the antidote to anxiety
There simply is no greater work, no greater calling,
no greater ministry than that of intercessory prayer.

Requested by – Linda Campanella, Deacon
For – (Update) - Loyd and Lois Dodson
Prayer for Loyd Dodson – As previously shared, Loyd was taken to Mercy Hospital by ambulance on May 23, Friday night. After tests he was diagnosed with an abdominal aortic aneurysm. He was then flown, during the night, to UC Davis for surgery. Today, Monday,
May 26 an MRI was taken revealing an ulcer which had popped so Lloyd has undergone a SECOND surgery which is for the bleeding ulcer.
By phone calls throughout this day of May 26, prayers have been requested from fellow Parishioners at First Presbyterian Church. Since Loyd has now undergone back-to-back surgeries, all who realize Loyd’s weakness medically understand his greater need for
prayer. Gratefully All share their hope through words of concern that their caring words with God, their heartfelt thoughts will make a difference. — Let us continue to keep both Lois and Loyd close in prayer.

Requested by – Nancy Streeter
For – Her brother, Steve Streeter
Prayer for – I had asked for prayers for my brother Steve, who was diagnosed with ALS. He has been dealing with slurred speech and trouble swallowing. He celebrated his 74 birthday on Thursday. He let us know that his church in Davis has organized a team
of people to help him. At the same time, he has been working to place his wife Nancy J. (Jones) in memory care.
During church yesterday he sent another text that he had to go to Sutter Hospital with severe stiffness. A friend drove him there. Nancy J was with them. At the hospital she had chest pains. They checked her out, then a friend drove her home to take care
of her.
This is a sign that Steve's ALS is advancing. The stiffness will affect his mobility, so he will lose his ability to drive. We're thankful that he can communicate with us with his cell phone.

AMD affects the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, central vision.

It can cause blurred or distorted vision, and in some cases, a blind spot in the center of the visual field.

For – Leigh Perry
Prayer for – My son Craig's wife, Leigh Perry, is at Mercy Hospital for weakness and shortness of breath. Pray for a correct diagnosis and effective treatment. They just returned from a trip, and she couldn't do much as they wanted to because she just didn't
have the energy. Pray also that this will draw her to the Lord.
