Update on Robin: Robin is feeling and doing well and should be released today hopefully. She did suffer a heart attack with 100% blockage in the “Widow Maker” artery. They were able to put in a stent and open the artery. She will begin cardiac therapy in a few weeks, but in the mean time will continue her ankle therapy. God is good! Please continue to prayer her through all of this recovery. Thank you!

Operation Christmas Child
We will be having a Saturday morning workshop of OCC Saturday from 9 to noon. It certainly made me happy to have two men who have never helped before volunteer. Some people will sew, but others will sort, braid, fill bags, paint, etc. There will be a task that is suitable to everyone.
We are still collecting men’s dress shirts and adult t-shirts. You can bring them when you come Saturday. We are also still collecting solar powered calculators and AAA batteries for flashlights if you would like to make some easy purchases. Please bring a friend and a finger food to share.
