Our tenor Eric Phillips has requested prayer for his father Ernie Phillips. Ernie has been battling abdominal problems since before Christmas. A mass has been found in his colon and they plan to remove the mass soon. Please be in prayer for all of the Phillips family as they walk through the days ahead. Our position and prayer is that God is still in the healing business and we are believing for a touch of God on Ernie's life. We covet your prayer. Please pass this request along to the people that you know will join us in praying for this saint of God.Blessings, Mark Trammell

Will most definitely keep Mr.Ernie in my prayers...God wants us to pray and believe and trust in Him no matter what, but I'll be praying fervently for the family, too, since going through something like this is always tense and uncertain. Lord, pour out your healing power, peace, and grace on your son Ernie.
Continued prayers going up!
