Prayer Request

 Brother Knights and families. 

I sent an email out sometime ago about a young woman waiting on the results of some medical testing. Russell Rouse called today and was wanting all of us to continue to pray for his friend Pamela Riley.  Ms.Riley will go in on April 29 and because of her cancer results will find a treatment that the Doctors find to be the best way of handling her situation. News like this is never easy but prayer is. Please let us join in prayer with our brother Russell and ask for God's healing power on Pamela and all of the sick. God Bless and thank you.
