From Pastor Shaw 11/27

Posted in From the Pastors on Sunday, November 27th, 2011


I trust you had a great Thanksgiving. We have so much for which to be thankful. Here are some recent victories: James Campbell's recent tests show his cancer has not grown or spread which allows him to have a two-month vacation from chemotherapy. Jayden Langley's tests came back normal, and he will not have surgery. Jamie Emerson delivered a healthy baby boy at thirty-eight weeks in spite of complications. Bryan Bootka has been declared cancer-free after weeks of numerous tests. Patricia Hall's recent biopsy was negative for cancer. Jonathan Bernard was protected during a potentially life threatening motorcycle accident. Derek and Janice Mireles finalized their adoption of Caleb James. Margret Medina, newborn daughter of Israel and Maura Medina, was healed.

Special thanks to all who participated in Service Saturday. Additionally, our church distributed 26 Thanksgiving baskets and turkeys to families in need. Your generosity is the love of Christ in action!
