Also, the Rev. Dr. Troy Janel Dixon, Moderator of Black Presbyterian Clergy Women of the NBPC, has suffered a brian aneurysm. She is recovering well at the Jefferson Memorial Hospital in Philadelphia, PA, and welcomes your prayers for her.

Please be in prayer for the Marshalls and Dixons as the Holy Spirit be their source of comfort, healing and strength.

Lord, God: You are the source of comfort in times of grief. You are our Healer, in times of sickness. Be so now, Oh God, for the Marshall and Dixon Families, as you have done for all of us..
