Lark and Andrew Schroeder were involved in a car accident just a few hours ago. Thankfully, it appears no major injuries, but Lark suffered some bruising. This comes at the heels of Susan’s recent accident so prayers for the family are much needed and appreciated. Cards of encouragement may be sent to 1122 Brandenberry Lane, Auburn, GA 30011.

Updates
Kelcea O’Steen’s younger brother Kyle
was able to come home from the hospital on Saturday after having spinal surgery following a car accident. In two weeks, he will go back to the doctor to see if the plates have set and they will decide if a second surgery on his lower spine is necessary. If not, he will begin physical therapy. Please continue to pray for his recovery. Cards may be sent to Kyle at 155 International Drive. Apt. 101 Athens, GA 30605.

Penny Baine is passing every test and just needs to prove to the medical staff that she is taking in enough milk. If all goes well, she will be released from the hospital on Thursday. Continue to pray for Penny so she can get home to Georgia! Cards may be sent to the family at 1170 Manor Ridge, Bishop, GA 30621. See sweet picture of Mike feeding Penny below.

Marie Cooper’s grandson Dalton was born prematurely, having feeding problems and stomach issues and is scheduled for surgery on Thursday. Please continue praying for Dalton and his mother Kelia.

Victor Payton was released from the hospital on Sunday and is back home in Athens. The doctors are still trying to find the cause of his back pain. He’s going back to Emory on Friday and hopes to be clear of infection and able to be placed back on the transplant schedule. Victor and Gwendolyn are grateful for your continued prayers. Cards may be sent to them at 189 Imperial Way, Bogart, GA 30622.

QUESTIONS TO REFLECT ON FOR FAMILY GROUP TIME:

  1. WHO AM I? – AM I A SAINT OR A SINNER?
  2. IS THE CHURCH ESSENTIAL TO MY LIFE, MY SALVATION?
