Rentz Gullick's Surgery Postponed (Hopefully for good)

From an email from Judy sent out a little while ago:

Allen told me that Rentz called and said that his ex-ray looked good so they're putting the surgery on hold. Hallelujah! Our God is a Mighty God!

News about Rentz Gullick and Makyra Williamson

Rentz Gullick is now scheduled for a follow-up surgery Friday afternoon at 1 p.m. at Skagit Valley Hospital.

Makyra Williamson is also back in the hospital due to complications from her surgery last Friday.

Please keep both Rentz and Makyra in your prayers as their recuperation has been delayed by these unexpected complications.

Tuesday Update on Rentz

Rentz Gullick is still in Skagit Valley Hospital, Room 1016. He says he might be a little better, but still does not feel well. He is getting quite tired of not being able to eat anything.  Keep him in your prayers.

Also don't forget to pray for Elmer & Martha Juntenen.  Martha, especially, is not doing well at all. Elmer asks our prayers because it is very hard for him to see Martha in her condition now.  Cards, calls, and visits would also be appreciated by him.

Rentz Gullick - Monday Afternoon Update

Rentz is still having a lot of nausea and just feeling badly.  He says he is not in pain, but his first-ever experience as a hospital patient is not going all that well.  Please keep him in your prayers for a quick and full recovery. He is in room 1016 at Skagit Valley Hospital in Mount Vernon.

"Please pray for the family of our neighbor, Ruth Ensley, as she passed away yesterday.  Thank you."  ...the Williamsons


ANNOUNCEMENTS:

• This session of the Secret Sisters program will end on the last Sunday of this month (June 27). Bring a special gift and a card to identify yourself to your Secret Sister (date correction from the bulletin).
• The Young Adult Group will meet at the Hasenoehrls again this week for a devo and games on Saturday at 7 p.m.  See a Hasenoehrl if you need directions. Feel free to bring games or snacks.

Rentz Gullick

Rentz is recuperating at Skagit Valley Hospital in Mount Vernon (Room 1016) after having an appendectomy done during the night Thursday night. He had not been feeling well during the day Thursday and finally went to the ER. Tests showed that his appendix was "leaking." The surgeon was able to remove it with laparoscopy so he does not have a major incision to heal.  Since Rentz lives alone, he may be kept in the hospital a little longer than he otherwise would, perhaps until Sunday. Keep him in your prayers.

Also, keep Makyra Williamson in your prayers today. She is undergoing spinal surgery in Oregon today. She is the oldest daughter of Darren & Melody and the granddaughter of Joe and Becky.

Young Adult Group

The Young Adult Group will meet at the Hasenoehrl's house this Saturday at 7 p.m. for a devotional and board games. See Trevor for directions.

2nd Sunday Fellowship and Area-Wide Gospel Singing

Remember that Sunday, June 13 is the time for our monthly potluck fellowship meal following the morning worship assembly.  Bring plenty of food for your family and extra to share with guests.

Also, this month is time for the Area-Wide Gospel Singing, which will be held here at the Skagit Valley building at 2 p.m. Plan to enjoy a special time of praising God and encouraging one another in song. In April, we had an excellent crowd for this event. Let's make it even better this time!

We will not have evening services this Sunday.
