You can send them out directly to the group listed in this email, or you can send them to me or Susan, and I'll be glad to request those prayers from this group. God is always with us, and we are with each other, so let us continue to lift up one another in prayer and offer words of encouragement to one another.     Some special prayer requests have been made tonight from Lynn Headley. We ask that you be her prayer warriors and cover her with your prayers.  Due to COVID-19 restrictions, pray that her son, Josh, and Mackenzie will have the wisdom to know what to do about their wedding which is scheduled for this coming Saturday, March 28. Pray for their future together as Mackenzie has problems traveling to and from the island vet school where she has been accepted. Pray that God will provide a vet school for her to be able to attend. Pray for Lynn, in the midst of all this, to have this kind of peace: Phil 4:7 "7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
