Please keep Jacob Brown in prayer. He is Jasmine Dearwester Brown's husband. Jacob was recently hospitalized for Afib, which he contracted when he had COVID back in 2020. He is home, and they are trying to treat him with medications right now.
Pastor Ron would like to thank everyone who has been praying for him and who have expressed concerns or sent cards. His surgeon was pleased with how his surgery to implant a Watchman went on Tuesday. The surgeon told us before the surgery that he would be keeping Pastor Ron overnight due to the distance home for us. We came home Wednesday afternoon. Our thanks also to our son-in-law Christian Babyak and our granddaughter Seraphina for loaning us our daughter Rebecca who came to the hospital on Tuesday morning and spent the night at our house on Tuesday night. We're sure they are happy to have her back, but we appreciated her willingness to come out for the surgery.
Sandy Brown's new address is 1131 Deliquia Drive, Apt. 203, Cincinnati, OH 45230-5001. This is assisted living at The Ashford in Mt. Washington.
If you missed our Youth Sunday, you missed a wonderful service. Our thanks to Joy Creighton, Tara Woods, Nikki Tracy, Lisa Jewell, our LYO youth and Sunday School kids for putting it on. Please take a look at the JOY poster that the Sunday School put together. Thanks to Grace Humble and Olivia Waits for talking about their faith journeys. We hope this was meaningful not only to our members but to our younger kids as well. Grace and Olivia set a great example for our kids. Thanks to our pianists, Maya Taylor, Zane Taylor, and Lydia Pearcy, and to our Scripture readers and singers, Maya Taylor, Zane Taylor, Hunter Bradford, Harper Bradford, Isabelle Phillips, and Jaeda.
