Monday Afternoon

Karen Miller’s mom did well with surgery.  Rehabilitation now begins.  Pray for Karen and her mother.

“Prayers for Eli” – Facebook

Ashlyn DeBlanc will be having surgery on a knee Wednesday in Jackson.  Please pray for Ashlyn and her family as they anticipate this procedure.

Austin Rose was able to walk outside his hospital and experience sunlight firsthand for the first time in three weeks.  I know the family is thankful for the “small steps” of progress they have seen.

From Robert Callihan

Robbie was doing little better but nurses saw her at home today and urged her to go to emergency room. They think she may have blood clot in her leg. I have been spending weekends with her and will continue as long as she needs me.  Keep praying for her and pass this along to anyone u feel like.

Two reminders:

1. Now is a good time to purchase flannel or 100% cotton fabric in patterns appropriate for children – sports, animals, teams, cartoon character, Disney characters, etc.  You can check out Susan’s facebook page – “Lara’s Gowns for Smiles”.  We will be cutting the fabric two weeks from today.  People from area churches are welcome to add fabric to our baskets at FBC, Kentwood.   Susan learned last week that socks and underwear are also needed sometimes when children, both boys and girls, have an appointment and are immediately sent to the hospital.   It would be helpful if you bring straight pins and scissors.                

• Small – 1 yd.

• Medium – 1 1/2 – 2-1/2 yds.

• Large – 2 1/2 – 3 yds.

2. We will be working on “Purses of Purpose” the same day.  We need purses for children, teens, and adults and items to go in the purses.  Each purse will also include a small pamphlet with a Christian message.

• new pens
• small notepads
• hand sanitizer
• tissues
• small books
• small toys for a girl
• inexpensive jewelry
• etc.

Please sign the list at the church or let me know if you are coming.
