OUR CHURCH FAMILY

Lewis Postman is showing marked improvement in his speech and swallowing and has returned home this week. Thank you for prayers and concerns. Henry & Alice P

On May 27 Samantha P. had a knee arthroscopy. The doctor found bone, cartridge (osteoarthritis) & tissue damage throughout the knee. He also found signs of Rheumatoid (Inflammatory) arthritis. Only a replacement of fluid was repaired at this time. She has started treatment for her auto-immune disease in hopes to slow the damage and combat the inflammation throughout her body. Recovery from the surgery is slow as the health of her knee was already compromised.

Thank you so much for the prayers, meals, cards and personal contact many of you have provided.

SUNDAY, JULY 4TH - immediately following the morning service the congregation is invited to a time of fellowship at the Community Complex in celebration of Bert & Pat Konynenbelt's 50th wedding anniversary on July 6th.

Dustin M. has returned home. We give thanks to God for hearing our prayers.
Jenny E. has experienced some problems with her lungs for which she requires oxygen. She still resides at the Blue Sky Lodge. She's tired but has no pain. Ena Slomp waits to hear from the Calgary Foothills surgeon regarding her lung cancer. Pray for peace and strength. Harry S. will begin radiation treatments in the latter half of July.
Betty Z. will undergo more tests in order to determine if the cancer is primary or secondary. These results will determine the course of treatment.
Dorothy C., Rev. Jake's wife, has returned home from the hospital, remains weak, but is doing okay. Henny v.F. waits for an appointment with a bone specialist in Calgary.
Samantha P for energy to complete each day; for pain relief and appropriate medical care.
