We have received the following prayer request from Mildred Quertermous. Mildred and Connie lived in Southern Shores and were faithful servants here at Duck Church. They live in SC. Please add Connie Quertermous to your prayer list. Connie has been diagnosed with colon cancer and is due to have surgery on Thursday June 25. The day after she notified her employer of this, she was called in and fired causing her to lose all life and health insurance as well as income. This is a very depressed area, and I am also without work or benefits. We both need your prayers.
Thank you.
Mildred Quertermous
Please say a prayer for Kay Powell’s husband, who had a heart attack yesterday. He is having heart catherization today at Virginia Beach Hospital on First Colonial Rd.
Lori is responding to the chemo, and in the “off” period leading up to her second round of four treatments, her own antibodies are climbing with the red blood cells at a better level. A very good sign. She’s determined to keep fighting through the “blahs”, and is up to walking 3 miles a day … a far cry from her running marathons and strength training. We have received the following prayer request from Lois Thomas: Please add Denise Miller to our prayer request list. Denise is my daughter, Mickie's, best friend since elementary school. Denise has colon cancer that has metastasized to her liver and after surgery is now taking chemo treatments. She is in her early 50's, just retired from the NATSB. Denise’s only family is her younger sister.
Please pray for Mystie, Julia Ray's 10-year-old niece as she is hospitalized to cleanse her body of complications of her prescriptions and for the doctors to have the wisdom to properly treat her as well as for her to not be depressed over missing her family.
This coming Saturday, there will be a car wash fundraiser at Kitty Hawk Elementary School to raise money for the Breit family after Cole’s surgery. Come by the school from 8 am-2 pm to show your love and support for the Breits.
Please put Marty Myers in your prayers. He is undergoing knee replacement surgery today at the OBX hospital.
From Kristine Braunstrof--For friends, Cindy and Ed Burton. They decided to work w/a surrogate and now the surrogate is 3 weeks pregnant!! Please keep them all in your prayers!

Prayer for our church:
Eternal God, source of guidance and direction, what you require of us you also reveal, and what you ask of us you also enable. There is nothing good that we do apart from your making it possible. You are the author and the finisher of our faith. We give thanks for Christ Jesus, who fulfills on our behalf all that you could possibly want us to be. We give thanks for the Holy Scripture, which sets forth your will and way for your chosen people. We give thanks for the Holy Spirit, who encourages in every way. Hear us this day as we pray for your church in Duck, North Carolina. In your great and abundant mercy help make us a place of hospitality that all who enter this sacred place may know that they are loved and accepted. Hear our intercessions on behalf of others, and strengthen us to sere them in appropriate ways. We lift up all the leaders of our church and ask that you encourage and strengthen them in their calling. Attune our lives to the intent of your commandments, that we may come to love you with soul, mind, and body and be enabled to love our neighbors as ourselves. We pray in the name of Jesus, who makes possible such love.
Dear Duck church family:
I am most grateful to all of our Duck Church Family for the thoughts and prayers during my recent illness. A special thank you to the Circle of Friends for the supper delivered on the first night we returned home from California. I am so grateful to our heavenly Father for being with me through a very difficult time. Our God is an Awesome God, that's for sure.
My mom, Tilly Hitchcock, would also like to express her thanks for all the help given to her in my absence. With thanks and Christian love,
