Sad news

Some of you might remember Don, Bonnie, Garnet and Tyson Sigette from FCC. They now live in Reno, but this week their family has suffered a tremendous loss and they are in need of prayer coverage. Bonnie's niece was found murdered earlier this week and an Amber alert was put out for her two missing children, a 9 year old boy and a 2 year old girl. This family was living in Arkansas. Later that day, the police discovered Bonnie's brother who had also been murdered in his home. Yesterday, they found the body of the 2 year old baby and today the boy's body was found.

Four family members all taken by a senseless act by a deranged person. The police have the niece's boyfriend in custody, but on unrelated charges. That's all the information we have at this time, but as you can imagine this family is suffering from a deep, deep hurt.

Please pray for them as they try to adjust to life after such a tragedy. I know they will appreciate it and have asked for help in this area.

Prayer needed

From Susan Eichler:

Will you please put Barbara Chapman on the prayer list. She went to Public's after church and tripped on the cement divider. She broke her kneecap. She does not need surgery. They have her in a brace.
