***Update from Alice on their family friend*** Jen will be starting a new round of chemo this week. Please pray that she will tolerate the chemo and that the chemo will be effective in shrinking the tumors on her liver. Her next scans will be in June. The Ruff family is very appreciative that 1st Church is praying for them.

The Ruff family is very appreciative that 1st Church is praying for them. Alice's original message if you missed it: Jack and I would like to ask prayers for family friends of ours, the Ruff family. Jen and Jon are the parents of 2 young children ages 5 and 7. Jen was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer about 2 years ago. Since then Jen has had a double mastectomy, a preventative hysterectomy and round after round of chemo and radiation. Unfortunately the cancer has spread to her spine and her liver. They have been told that the tumors in her liver are continuing to grow and there may not be any thing more that can be done. Jen and Jon are seeking a second opinion, but regardless they have some tough decisions to be made for their family. Please pray for a miracle for Jen and peace from God as they continue this journey. Both Jon and Jen are committed Christians. Please pray!
