Help from a Great Preacher

We had a problem.

Mary was preaching elsewhere and I was in the hospital. Mary called my dear friend Rev. Eric McKinney, retired, and he drove up from Georgetown to fill the pulpit. And what a great sermon!

Our deepest thanks to Eric.

We would love for him to preach again—when he is already in town!

My Hospital Stay

When my leg began to swell on Friday, I knew what was happening. I was hospitalized “in screaming pain” last year with blood clots after COVID. It took surgery to remove the clots.

I went to emergency on Saturday, was placed on intravenous blood thinner and prepped for surgery on Monday. A CT scan showed the clot did not extend far enough up to require surgery. I’m back on Eliquis.

I was released late Monday. It is now Tuesday.

Swelling almost gone. A bit weak but feeling fine.

Will be back Sunday.

Mary preaches.

And we gather at the Lord’s table.

Breakfast this Sunday

A “Winston Sunday.”

Let’s have breakfast together—10:30 a.m.

Special Giving Sunday

This is it—May 5—Special Giving Sunday.

You may give extra if you are able. Our church needs extra help in May. If you are not able, do not give extra. The Lord will provide.

God Bless—MB

Administrative Board members, be prepared for a called Board meeting this Sunday after worship. We will discuss it with Board Chair Winston (and others) this Sunday to see if a brief meeting is necessary.
