All ~

Wanda has asked me to send out an email to give you an update on Hayley. While at the emergency room last night, she was given IV fluids (plus some meds for the nausea). She is at home and is doing better. They thank each of you for your prayers and calls. Please continue to pray for them. Also, Wanda has not been feeling the best either, so remember her as well!

I hope everyone has a great week!

Love in Christ,

Jane

Please be much in prayer for Mrs. Pearl Wood who lost her last sister, Mrs. Martha McLamb, this past week. Mrs. Martha passed away after a long period of sickness.

Brother Woodrow Jones of Knightdale, member of Powhatan, may be called home to be with the LORD this evening. I visited with the family this evening and assured them that Powhatan was here for them. Brother Woodrow is the father of David Jones, husband of Cathy Jones. The family requests that the church keep them in prayer during these difficult hours. Brother Woodrow is now with his family here in Clayton at Don and Larue (Jones) Crow’s home at 408 Page Street. Their number is 553-7245. May God comfort them in this hour.

God Bless!

Deb just called and told me that Savannah can hear. They did some kind of hearing test on her and when the animals made noises she turned her head. She also was trying to talk. Deb said maybe one day she will hear Hollie sing.

God is Good.

Please pray that the more they turn it up the more she can hear.

God Bless you all.

Martha and I visited with Strick and Marilyn this afternoon. They appreciate the calls they have received from the church family and the pecan pie that was delivered by one of our cherished members.

Anyone wishing to send a card, or share a food item with Strick and Marilyn, their address is 712 S Robertson Street, Clayton.

The wake for Kenneth Jr., will be held at the Minshew Funeral Home in Four Oaks Wednesday afternoon at 1PM with the funeral following at 2PM at the same location. The body will be interred at the McLaurin cemetery in Clayton.

Kenneth Strickland (age 55), son of Kenneth “Strick” Strickland Sr., and Step-son of Marilyn, died yesterday late afternoon at Rex Hospital after a long bout with cancer. Though the funeral arrangements have not yet been made, I have assured Strick and Marilyn that both myself and the church are here for them in any need they may have. I will let the church family know when arrangements have been made. Marilyn is a member of Powhatan and Strick has been long time in consistent fellowship with our church family.

God Bless!

I spoke with Katie this afternoon. She is getting around the hospital on her own strength; though she used her wheel chair to go to the play room this afternoon. She feels like she’s doing really well and they hope to be coming home from the hospital tomorrow.
