Cathi Adams Making Good Progress

We just had a report from Melissa Adams that her mom is doing pretty well today. Her surgeon has been in this morning and he is well pleased with Cathi's progress. If all continues to go well, she may be going home tomorrow. Keep her in your prayers.

November 1 Notes

Prayers Requests from Sunday Morning Service:

Please pray for my brother Dwayne Mackey and his wife, Donna, as he's been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. Also, our daughter Brandy and her son, David, have the swine flu. -- Judy Hill

Please pray that we wil have a safe trip. We fly south leaving this Friday and arriving in the Bahamas Saturday. -- Jeanie Young

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers while we were sick -- we're so thankful for good health. My mom is still not feeling well, but it better. Pray for Pete & Karen Dingeman's oldest daughter, Lacey, who has been diagnosed with malignant melanoma. She has three lesions on her body. We don't know what stage it is yet, but they have requested the prayers of the church -- Cathi Adams

Cathi Adams is scheduled for surgery tomorrow morning early at Univ. of Washington Hospital in Seattle. Let's be lifting her up in prayer. (We'll update the blog when a report from Cathi's surgery is received).

Jonathan Natal asks for prayer that his parents find a home as soon as possible. They sold their home to relocate to a more convenient locale.

Ruth Lake and I thank you for your prayers on behalf of her recovery. Please keep praying for her. She will be transferred to a stroke rehabilitation center in Bellingham on Monday. She is much improved and getting better every day. -- Jim Wilkison

Time Change Sunday / Ruth Lake Update

Remember to set your clock back an hour before you go to bed tomorrow night. (Unless you're not in the habit of coming to Sunday School. If that's the case, then forget about your clock and get here at 9:30 instead of 10:30 Sunday morning. We'll be glad to have you in class!!!)

Ruth Lake Wilkison continues to make improvements after experiencing a stroke on Wednesday. She is still having difficulty with her speech, but it is much better than Wednesday night. She is in room 228 at Island Hospital in Anacortes.

Ruth Lake Wilkison

Ruth Lake did have a stroke Wednesday afternoon about 4:30. She was taken to the hospital in Anacortes by ambulance and was later admitted to Room 228. Her condition seems stable, and she has made good progress in regaining some of the functions she had lost. Her speech remains affected. More tests will be run on Thursday to determine what caused the stroke. Please keep Ruth Lake and Jim in your prayers.

New Church Directories; Bible Text Link

Finally, the new church directories are available in the foyer of the church building. Be sure to pick up one or two copies Wednesday night or Sunday.

Here's a link to another article dealing with the Bible text used for translations of the Bible into English. We will not be spending much more time on this in our Wednesday night class, but I want to make additional information available to those interested in doing further study on their own.
