North Canton Announcements:

1. Service Times:

• August 17th – 2:00 PM
• August 24th – 2:00 PM

Current Prayer Requests:

2. Bonnie Anderson: Bonnie had successful surgery yesterday on her wrist. She is experiencing a lot of swelling and numbness (until the meds wear off). They told her to expect it to be painful when the meds wear off. On the 28th, she’s scheduled to have the bandage taken off. Additionally, her blood pressure was somewhat improved. She wanted to pass along that if she doesn’t make it to church, that she misses and loves everyone, and is grateful for you!

Recent Prayer Requests:

3. Makenna Evans (Update): This message from Adam & Jordan Evans: “We had our appointment at maternal fetal medicine and Makenna’s kidneys are measuring big but at this moment there’s nothing concerning about it other than size! And with that we will just have one ore ultrasound to check up before birth and set up a plan with urology for after birth plans. Other than that, she looks perfect! Measuring right on time size wise! Thank you so much for all the prayers we are so thankful that as of right now everything is looking good.”
4. Freeman & Debbie Kuhns (Update): Freeman and Debbie are hanging in there. They appreciate very much the prayers and thoughts. Let’s please continue the prayers for them.
5. Victoria Banit: Victoria came through her surgery as well as was expected.  She and her husband are now in a rehab facility close to their home. However, they now have Covid, so they’re having to be isolated in the facility.  Please pray for recovery from it and also her surgery and broken ankle. As she put it, “I would like prayer for ‘just everything’!”  She appreciates it and thanks you!

2904 Cliffside Dr., Copley, OH 44321-2202

6. Karen Smith: Overall, Karen is getting more relief from the pain and swelling is down. She has transitioned to eating pureed food which is helping her to get more calories and nutrients. Your continued prayers are appreciated for her as she heals up, as the surgery recovery (including the bone structure) is expected to take around 6 months.
