Specials About our Members and Other Events

We understand that Lee Morgan has now gone to New Jersey to visit family.

Annette Knight will be moving to her new townhouse at Tealwood this week. When she begins living there I will send out the address and phone number.

It was good to see Cathy and Dave Weaver in class today after some weeks away. They have been on some extended travels.

Several others of our class members with personal or family health issues need your prayers.

Paul Brown has found that a temporary spinal cord stimulator has helped his back pain, and he is now waiting for a permanent one to be inserted. He feels that there is now some “light at the end of the tunnel” for his back pain.

Bill Giddens was back in the hospital for one night over New Years for a blood transfusion. While he was not up to being in our class today, he was able to attend church.

When the Seekers Class was organized we wanted this class to provide fellowship, lasting relationships, care for each other, and communication, as well as having meaningful studies each week in our class. This purpose is being fulfilled for the most part, and we can do this more fully by providing appropriate information that can be communicated in this weekly E-News. Please let me know about anything of special interest that has happened to you or any of our class members that can be passed along via this E-News. Our class members would really like to know your news.
