Please pray for a very sweet friend who just lost her mom to bone cancer on Sunday. They were a very close family and this loss is so hard on them all.

Please pray for my brother-in-law. He has a number of health problems. He has a leaky valve in his heart, that is getting to the point of needing risky, cutting-edge surgery. The valve is causing acid reflux to the point where he can't eat and is losing a lot of wait.

Prayers for my brother-in-law who is not a believer. Please pray for him, he is a good man and a great brother-in-law.

Please be praying for both my wife and daughter who have relapsed with their colds as they have compromised immune systems due to chronic Lyme disease and get sick often from those complications.

• For this week just that our Christmas Eve service would be a blessing to those who come and tune in online. That the caroling outreach after the service would find soft hearts. Praying that Jesus would be glorified and that people would respond to the gospel message.
• Prayer appreciated for Mitica. He did something to one of his fingers and cannot move it now. It's on his dominant hand.
• Prayers are also appreciated as Brian may have broken a toe last week. He is able to get around ok, but it's pretty painful depending on what he is doing.
• Prayers also for Brian's family as they are taking turns taking care of his grandma as she recovers from a fall. She is approaching 90 and lives by herself.
