Update on Jen Gary

Jen's surgery went well on Tuesday.

They removed 12 inches of her colon, they did not have to remove her gall bladder or appendix. She is feeling pretty good, just very sore. She will probably be there about 3 days. She is in room 808 at Jennie Stuart.

SelfStudy - "We saw your smoke signal"

Hey Team!

David Jeremiah tells a story about a shipwreck survivor who washed up on a deserted island. After he had been there a few days, he built himself a hut and prayed to God for rescue. Each day he anxiously looked out over the horizon as he waited for God's delieverance in the form of a passing ship. One day, after returning from a hunt for food, he discovered that his hut was consumed in flames. He was devastated and believed it to be the worst thing that could have happened to him on the island; everything he had was gone. The next day, however, a ship arrived and the captain said, "We saw your smoke signal."

Sometimes, when there seems to be little or no hope, or when things seem to be going against us, it is difficult to believe that God is still with us. But then He unfolds His plan and His provision and reminds us that He had it under control the whole time. Remember, His ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8).

"Keep praying, but be thankful that God's answers are wiser than your prayers." -- William Culbertson

Hope to see you Sunday!

Prayer Request - Jeff Sisk's mom, Bonnie Sisk

Andrew,

Jeff Sisk's mom, Bonnie Sisk, was just taken to Jennie Stuart by ambulance. I'm not sure what is wrong with her. Dawn is going to call later and let us know what her status is. I just wanted to get some prayers for everyone involved.

I will update when I know more.

Thanks, Mike.

Hey Team,

Thank you so much for the love and support you gave the DNOW group this weekend!
DNOW is one of the most exciting and most important weekends in the life of our church and community.

Here are DNOW videos of Friday & Saturday sessions.
Friday night was signup and travel to host homes where the youth stayed and had discipleship.
Saturday was fun time for all.
