As we go through our days, please remember to keep the following WCA family in your prayers. Also, please email Tami Butts (tbutts@wcalions.org) with updated and/or new prayer requests.  It is an honor to pray for each other.

Please be in prayer for the Mauldin family - Brett, Candice, Bankston (6th), Morgan (3rd) and GrayAnn (1st).  Brett's parents, Larry and Angela Mauldin of Lake Oconee, have been seriously injured in a  car accident this week.  Prayers are specifically requested for their healing process as both face a long road to recovery.  Additionally, Brett's mother has to undergo critical spinal cord surgery which will determine her future mobility. 

Please be in prayer for the Clark family - Jared, Sara, Avery (12th), Aubrey (9th) and Abby (class of 2021).  Jared's parents were in a serious, head-on collision  on Tuesday afternoon near their home in Blairsville Georgia.  Both of them sustained multiple injuries which resulted in his mother being life flighted to Gainesville.  They each sustained multiple fractures and lacerations and are looking at a long, slow healing process.  

Both of these families need our prayers as they help their parents manage the healing process while trying to maintain their responsibilities.

Prayer requests are included here at the request, or with the permission of the family.
