9/11/2020 (Update)—Please continue to pray for Rick Clemons as doctors continue to search for what is causing his blood counts to stay so low. He continues to be weak and unable to work. Rick is at Mayo for a PET scan, and it really is an awesome place to be!! Rick & Sara have really appreciated the live streams of the Sunday services. They said, the past message on HOPE definitely felt like a God moment to both of us - what we needed when we needed it! Specific prayer requests that we have asked of friends and family are: 1) patience for Rick and Sara, 2) wisdom and guidance for the doctors, and 3) that we continue to notice God’s hands at work in our lives and that he uses us to show others his love and power.
