Joy's knee surgery yesterday was successful.  She will be at Greenview for about 3 days and then will recuperate at SKY Rehabilitation Hospital.  Heather is staying with the Bitterlings while Joy recovers.

 

Our ConneXion Leadership Team meeting will be this coming Sunday (January 13) at the Bitterlings.  We'll meet at 11:30, bringing in lunch --- earlier than usually, because some have evening commitments.

FYI - The facility has been reserved for the afternoon of Sunday January 20.

Two young couples attended our Financial Peace preview showing Sunday afternoon and registered!  There's still time for you and/or your friends to register, but we need time to get materials in.  We'd like for registrations to be in by this Thursday, Jan 10, if at all possible.

You may have heard by now that Lauren Jessen's father passed away in New England this week.

 

Although he had been in ill health, his death came suddenly and unexpectedly.  The funeral has been scheduled for Friday. 

 

The family in Maine has asked that flowers only come from the family (you can't bury people in the frozen ground this time of year, so there's nowhere for the flowers to go).  We will monitor that and if it is deemed appropriate, we'll send flowers from the church as a whole.

 

Otherwise, if you desire to express your sympathy in tangible ways, taking food in to the family when they return is a nice custom.  Also, taking the time to write a personal note in a card has a big impact at a time like this.

 

I've included a link here to her father's obituary.  Don't hesitate to call Debbie  (779-1919 or 393-8817) if you have any questions.  She's staying in close contact with Lauren.
