•Pray for Warren & Linda and Natalie Smith and their family. Warren's brother Garth passed away suddenly of a massive heart attack. Please pray for Warren, Garth's wife Laurie, his kids Danielle and Dylan, Warren's Mom Maureen, his sister Denise and her son Austin.

•Pray for Bev Palmer (Lori MacAhonic’s Mom), who is the hospital awaiting possible open heart surgery and a PET scan to rule out lung cancer. Please pray for opportunities to talk about Christ, supernatural healing and peace and comfort for the family.

•Pray for Tamra (Escaravage) and Joe Nowicki, married July 30 2011, as they relocate from LA to Canada and seeks God's provision for their future. Tamra was supported by Parkland Missions and served with YWAM Los Angeles. Pray that Joe will find employment in the audio engineering and production field and that Tamra will also find a good full- time opportunity. Forward any job leads to Tamra's parents, Doug & Karen Escaravage (descaravage@telus.net).

•Pray for the Dyck family as they mourn the loss of Charis. Please pray for Tim, Lisa, Bryan, Kevin and their extended family and friends during this very difficult time.

•Pray for Don Weisner as he recovers from surgery and waits for medical results.

•Pray for Debbie (Leana Anderson’s cousin) who has lung and bone cancer and begins chemo on Thursday. Please pray for healing and for salvation as she does not know Christ.

•Continue to pray for Denny (Mikal Anderson’s Dad). He had an MRI on September 23rd and has good days and bad days. Please also pray for Wendy (Mikal’s Mom) who had an angiogram which came back clear but she is still experiencing chest pain so the doctors still need to determine what is wrong.

•Pray for Shannon Escaravage’s father, Peter who has lymphoma which has spread to his groin. Pray for wisdom for the doctors, healing for Peter, and peace and strength for him and his family.

•Pray for Cora Tonn serving at Esperanza on Vancouver Island (www.esperanza.ca)

Happening Toda y

When you come to church, you don’t need to be experienced in the game of church. As a matter of fact, we try hard to ensure that nobody feels engaged in any kind of religious game. At Parkland, you don’t have to dress up in a particular uniform. You don’t have to be a particular age. Most of all, you don't have to feel the need to pretend to be anything other than who you really are. Just come as you are, pick up a cup of coffee or tea, and relax! One thing is for sure—no experience is necessary.
