My Father-in-Law

James Noon is my father-in-law who lives in Mission Viejo. He is currently undergoing chemotherapy for melanoma. Though the therapy has proven successful to date, Jim's eighty-three yer old body is has been struggling with the chemotherapy. He has already received two blood transfusions because of low palate counts. He is currently scheduled to undergo his fourth round of chemo next Monday (6/8). Jeanne, my wife, is waiting for the results of the most recent blood test to see if the palates has high enough to begin this round of treatment. Jim is a Christian, but these treatments are a test to his faith. Please pray for Jeanne and her two sisters, Becky and Beth, as they care for their dad. Jeanne is quite exhausted after staying with her dad over the last week to care for him. Pray the Lord may grant the grace, wisdom, strength, and patience to trust Him to depend on His perfect providence.

Orthodox Presbyterian Church General Assembly II

This past Sunday evening (5/31) the Orthodox Presbyterian Churches of Grand Rapids along with the commissioners of the General Assembly gathered for a joint worship service at a local Christian high school gym. Over 800 people gathered and sang God's praise, heard the Word of God, and were served the Lord's Supper. It was a glorious service and a great encouragement to all who attended.

Today (Monday - June 1) General Assembly unanimously passed the Directory for the Public Worship of God. This document will be sent down to the presbytery for their study and vote.

We still have a number of smaller reports, the Chaplains Report, and three appeals to complete before we adjourn at noon on Wednesday.

The Lord has richly blessed this year's assembly with unity, wisdom, and joy. Please continue in prayer for the assembly as they conclude their work on Tuesday and Wednesday.
