Spring comes to FUMC - McCamey (part 1)

The first Sunday of spring arrived in McCamey with reminders aplenty of God's amazing grace. 

During the morning worship service, prayers were asked for the following:

Joys: *Verla F. is doing better; Beth C. is doing better.  *Spring is springing!  *Teachers and school administration (and students!) going back to school tomorrow.  *Doctors willing and able to help patients when they can’t pay right away.  *Laughter in church.  *Grace M.’s family in Tokyo doing alright.  *Eric H.’s student-athlete won the girl's state powerlifting title.   *Billie M.’s birthday this week.  *Church has new outside motion-detector light. (Thanks, Gary E.). *Joy of two visitors singing in the choir during worship: Joyce and her daughter Rhonda.

Concerns: *Recovery work in Japan. *Family mourning the passing of Ramona Brooks. *Jimmy R.’s surgery this week. *Louise C.’s sister Jane is having eye surgery in San Antonio this week. *Travis W.’s car was rear-ended by an 18-wheeler, which fortunately resulted in non-life-threatening injuries to him. He’s been released from the hospital. *Need for rain.  *Travelling mercies.This afternoon at the Convalescent Center we enjoyed our weekly worship service with the residents.  Thanks to Cytha Peters, Belinda Alkula and Bill & Bobbie Lester for sharing this time (along with Pastor Charles). 



We were also blessed to be able to share in the celebration of Shirley Smith's 86th birthday.  Shirley's son, Stevie, and daughter-in-law, Vicki, were on hand and presented Shirley with a special photo quilt, such a treat for a special lady!
