From Bob Rizzo:  My sister Barbara passed away unexpectedly during surgery and I would ask if you could pray for my family. She lived in CA. and there is a lot of travel planning going on due to sevices in CA and Rochester NY .   Also: From JoAnne Neiner (one of the speakers): Precious Story from the retreat weekend: Our Amber phoned today to tell a beautiful story of God's goodness. A lady in her church wanted to go to the ladies' retreat this past weekend, but did not think it possible since her husband had been laid off for a very long time and was unable to find work. But the Lord provided for her to go, and she was telling Amber how much the retreat messages ministered to her heart as the family faced such financial needs. She was blessed when she found out her husband  was called in for a temporary job with a job crew....in the nuclear power plant...in Middletown , CT. He phoned his wife Sunday morning from inside the plant, concerned that he heard gas moving through the newly worked on pipes. His wife  told him to get out of the building. He commented that gas is not to be tested in new pipes until the building was evacuated, but he could clearly hear gas in the pipes. The wife urgently (and loudly) asked him to leave the building. He hung up, got his crew, and vacated the building. As they approached their cars, the power plant exploded. It blew all the glass out of their cars, and hurled the men in the air from the blast which could be felt miles away. Had they lingered even one minute more, all would have been killed. Five men have died in the explosion and 14 injured so far as the search and rescue teams go through the rubble. Some areas cannot be searched because they are so unstable. Amber's church members made sure the wife was not alone all day as her husband received medical treatment for his injuries, which were not life-threatening. Amber was thinking how many of the truths this woman learned at the retreat will be put to immediate use as the Lord calmed her heart in reflecting on what "could have been." It is amazing to ponder how God's Word...either spoken or heard...can have farther reaching effects than ever imagined. FromErin Gagnon: Please pray for Alexandra Ferris (7th grade).  We have been praying for her twin sister (Charlotte).  Alexandra blood's work came back elevated last week, so she will also be going in for a liver biopsy tomorrow.  They are expecting that she will also have liver damage like Charlotte did.  Pray for wisdom for the doctors to know how to treat them. Also, Please pass this on to others from the church that you might be in contact with:  Due to tomorrow's impending storm, please check the TV (Channel 3), WTIC AM Radio 1080, or the web site WTIC.com for information regarding our services tomorrow night, whether or not the service wil be canceled.   Yvonne Kauppinen Secretary Emmanuel Baptist Church +++++++++++++++++++++++++ bible prophecy news Israel Prepares to Strike Iran from Gulf and N.
