Subject: update on Jason Arnold

FBC family, It's been a difficult and emotionally challenging week, but God is good! Jason is now home and we look forward to getting rest and recuperating. We thank you all very much for your thoughts and prayers and the support from Andrew's, Carolyn's and the Meacheam's Sunday school classes as well as the individual needs that have been met. We'd appreciate the continual prayer for Jason's speedy recovery. Jason is in good spirits considering the loss of his leg just above the knee. At this time we still need time to rest and readjust thus we ask for no visitors, no calls for at least a week, and no meals. Jason's pain meds put him to sleep as well as cause nausea. And visitors/calls would prohibit his rest. We would like to suggest that anyone considering a future monetary contribution please redirect their support by donating blood or giving to FBC. Thank you for honoring our request. When you are at church on Sunday, you can ask David and Jessica Shepard for updates on Jason's progress. With God's continued grace, we look forward to returning to church in several weeks. Again thank you for all your support and prayers, we are truly blessed! Heidi and Jason

Andrew, Please share this with our class. The family I have asked prayer for - the one who's husband had cancer, had surgary, then had several heart attacks, he pasted away last night. They are best friends with Rick's parents. Hard on them because of this. His wife, Mitzy's birthday was yesterday as well. Please keep all in your prayers. Thanks, Shirley

Study of Philemon - Sharon Brown

Hey Andrew,

Since Sharon couldn’t be there last Sunday I thought I would test her knowledge and found that my wife is very astute. I asked her if she was familiar with “Philemon”. Without hesitation she said “it’s the stuff you cough up when you have the crud”. I thought I was the funny one ………….

Self Study

Hey Team,

I thought we got off to a great start in our study of Philemon regarding relationships. Thanks for your participation and commitment.

Also, thanks for your generosity with regard to our monthly offering. Not only were we able to meet the need I mentioned to you, but we were also able to help another family in our church with an unexpected need. Thanks again for being a generous group of people.

Hope you have a great rest of the week and I look forward to seeing all of you this Sunday.

Press on

Hello everyone!
I've had several ask for an update today. So I thought it might be easier to send an email to everyone at once. Jason is scheduled for surgery this morning at 11:30 (Friday). They WILL amputate his leg. We are asking everyone to pray that they will be able to save the knee. The knee was damaged as well and the orthopedic surgeon was unsure if it will be able to be saved. They will make that decision in surgery after looking at the knee.

After much consultation with the doctors and surgeons, it was determined that they would not be able to save the lower part of the leg regardless. There is just too much damage and too much of the leg is not there.

We anticipate his surgery to last most of the afternoon/early evening.

For those of you wanting to visit them, please be aware that for the most part it has been us Shepards (Heidi's family) and his parents in the waiting room. The ICU has strict visiting hours. When the ICU has been open for visiting hours, Heidi has been trying to spend the time with Jason. When the hours are closed, we've been trying to encourage Heidi to go to the hotel to rest. Another request for prayer would be for Heidi, she is truly physically exhausted from all of this. I just want any visitors to be aware that they may not necessarily catch Heidi but I know we've all appreciated the outpouring of love and support that so many of you have already shown to them. She is truly grateful for all of the support they've had! I'm sure once he has had more time to recover and is moved out of ICU, it will be easier to visit with Heidi or Jason. We will keep you updated on his progress.

Thanks everyone!

Jessica (and the rest of the Shepard and Arnold families)

I wanted to make sure that you were aware that Jason Arnold was involved in a motorcycle accident yesterday afternoon on 7th. St. He is in the hospital at Vanderbilt. I was told this morning there is a possibility that he may lose his leg.

If we hear anything else, I will let you know. Bro. Rick and Emory have gone to Nashville.

Hey Team,

Thanks again to all of you who participated in our class survey, including the discussions before and after. A copy of the summary of the survey responses is attached.

This Sunday we will begin a new study on relationships, based on the book of Philemon. Hope you can come and join us.

Finally, if you have not yet returned your completed disaster relief survery, it's not too late -- and there are still more chocolate bars for those who get theirs in soon.

Press on.

Andrew
