LOST Jewelry - Someone lost a set of wedding rings during our regional singing. If you happen to have seen them or picked them up, please turn them into the office and we’ll get them back to her.
Continue in your daily prayers:
The Swink's friend, David Brown, suffered a stroke Tuesday. He has been transferred to St Thomas West. They’re running all the tests to figure out the severity and next steps!
Taylor Tatum, Lena Brewster’s cousin, needs prayers. Recently doctors have told her that at this time there isn’t a treatment option moving forward for her cancer due to the state of her liver, and there isn’t an option to “fix” her liver. Please keep Taylor, her family, and the doctors in your prayers.
Greg Howell had surgery to reattach the retina in his left eye. Please pray that, when the oil bubble is removed in three months, he will have his sight back.
Chuck Johnson remains at St. Thomas Midtown Rehab and will likely be there for the next week. He is improving and getting stronger each day. God is good! Sarah
Leon Fletcher remains at Cookeville Regional with infection following knee surgery. Prayers for a speedy recovery appreciated. Cards can be sent to: 870 Villa Dr, Livingston, TN 38570.
Sympathy to Ken Clark (Marty) & Roxie Stanley in the loss of their sister, and our Cathey Clark who passed away. Her service was held on Saturday.
Thank You. To Our Family at JACOC: We were not created to stand alone during difficult times. God has provided his children with support and what wonderful support you have been during the days of Cathey’s illness and passing. Thank you for your prayers, calls, cards, food to nourish our physical bodies and acts of kindness that have nourished our souls. What a blessing you have been to our family and we are grateful. The Clark Family
Thank You. I want to say a huge thank you to all of those who have been a blessing to me and my family during this summer with my knee surgery and my mom's illness and passing. I have felt your prayers and my family appreciated the full bellies with all the amazing meals. Thank you also to those who reached out to my sister. I do have a small request to send cards to my sister Amanda Harris and my grandmother June McCormack, who will be 90 this Fall and lives in Dickson by herself. My mom was the 2nd child she has had to bury. Thank you in advance for thinking of them and sharing love and comfort during this time. I love my church family! Amanda Harris (kids Bella, Alana, Hayes) 700 Sandburg Place Nashville, TN 37214 and June McCormack 3061 Maysville Road Dickson, TN 37055. Thank you, Allison Burr.
