Prayer Requests • 9/20/2026

Kathy Brooks - Under Hospice Care at Home: Kathy is at home under hospice care as she has decided to forgo further treatment of some serious health issues. Kathy and Ed are delighted with every person from the hospice team and are so grateful for the love and support brought by visitors and phone calls. Please continue to pray for these two beloved saints and family, asking God to surround them with His peace, comfort, strength, and grace.

Ashley Wyatt: Ashley is continuing to recover well from her lumpectomy and will soon begin radiation treatments. Please pray specifically for minimal side effects and for the treatments to be effective in killing any remaining cancer cells in her body!

Grace Brown: Grace has completed her radiation series and has resumed immunotherapy for a tumor in her lung that had begun to grow again. She also continues to receive her monthly chemotherapy infusions. Please continue praying for Grace’s healing, for manageable treatment side effects, and for peace, strength, and encouragement for Grace and her family.

Rosemary Lisby: A new approach may be helping Rosemary address the back, leg, and foot issues that have affected her mobility. She recently began using a specialized cushion, which is providing promising results. Please pray for a return to full health so that she can return to her normal activities, including driving. Also remember Greg as he faithfully cares for and supports her.

Kathy Baines: Jane Gilliard's sister, Kathy, has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Kathy and her husband, Dewey, are former members of Grace Chapel. She has begun a course of chemotherapy treatments. Please pray for strength, comfort and peace as Kathy combats this disease. Also pray for successful treatment, complete healing, and encouragement for Dewey and the entire family.
 
Verna Enfinger: Margaret Krams' mother, Verna, who is in her early 90s, has recovered nicely from her UTI and is in good spirits as she continues her therapy sessions. Margaret's sister, Bonnie, recently underwent wrist surgery, so other family members have stepped in to help care for Verna. Margaret plans to travel to Florida on October 12 to assist with her mother's care for a few weeks.

Please pray for renewed strength, endurance, and continued good health for Verna. Also remember Margaret and her sisters as they faithfully care for and support her during this season.
 
Virginia Ann Edwards (Bo Edwards’ mother): Ninety-two-year-old Sister Edwards plans to remain in her home for the foreseeable future, though she is now open to the possibility of moving into an assisted living facility next year, potentially near Bo’s home. Please pray for wisdom and guidance as future decisions are considered, and for her family as they lovingly care for and support her.

Calli (Bo Edwards’ sister): Please pray for Calli’s mental healing and emotional well-being, and for peace, strength, and encouragement for her immediate family.

Please remember in your prayers the following GC members who have ongoing health issues and are generally unable to attend worship services:

David and Carolyn Wheeler: David is battling cancer in both kidneys as well as prostate cancer. Pain is being kept under control very well with minimal pain meds, and both David and Carolyn continue to maintain wonderful, inspiring positive attitudes. Please keep this special couple in your prayers. They welcome cards and calls.

Esther and Russ Johnson: Esther has resumed outpatient physical therapy once per week after taking a break for a time. We continue to pray for renewed strength, improved breathing, and a better quality of life as Esther manages Parkinson’s disease. Also remember Russ as he faithfully cares for her each day. May the Lord bless and sustain them both as they continue to persevere with love, faith, and gratitude.

Bert and Joyce Blackwell: Please pray for Bert as his health continues to decline, and for Joyce as she faithfully cares for him each day. Pray that God will strengthen Joyce physically, emotionally, and spiritually as she serves as Bert’s caregiver.

Melissa Boyle is helping to coordinate meals; you may sign up to take them a meal at mealtrain.com/trains/yrzl3k. Feel free to send Joyce a text of encouragement (no calls, please); she so appreciates it.

Wayne and Faye Tincher: The Tinchers, both in their early 90s, have been GC members since moving to Cumming three years ago. Due to health and mobility challenges, neither is able to drive. Please keep this dear couple in your thoughts and prayers.
