[Magdalen] Prayer Request Summary 3/9/2015 (now or a week late)

[Ann Markle]

Lynn,

Thanks for this prayer request summary.  I do so appreciate them.  Could
you or Jay add:  In parishes searching for Rectors -- Trinity, Buffalo, and
St. Peter's Eggertsville.  To "Friends & Family" -- Gabrielle & Roger,
Jimmie & Geri.  I would also like to ask prayers for myself, in my repeated
attempts to regain abstinence in my food addiction.  It has been a very
long struggle, and I'm still not there.

Ann

The Rev. Ann Markle
Buffalo, NY
