Jennifer Ring's Mom

I wanted to give an update on Jennifer Ring's mom. She had her surgery yesterday and is in stable condition. They may take her chest tube out tomorrow, which will help with the pain. They are pretty sure there is no cancer, but the final pathology report is not ready yet. Continue to keep her and her family in your prayers.

Christmas Party - Dec. 11th

Here is a list of who I have signed up for the Christmas Party on Sat., Dec 11th. It will be $5/family to cover the cost of meat and then we will bring sides and desserts. Also, I need to know if you need childcare and are not signed up, please let me know so we can plan to have enough sitters.

Christmas Party - Dec. 11th

We are having our annual class Christmas Party on Sat., Dec. 11th starting at 4:00 PM. We are catering the meat ($5/family) and bringing potluck dishes for the sides and dessert. We will also have childcare available for $5/child, but am needing to get a head count so we can arrange childcare workers. We will do a white elephant gift and a "nicer" gift with a $10 limit. Your family can chose to bring only 1 gift if only 1 of you plans to play. We also plan to bring a gift for the Foster Care Closet as a class outreach. I will put the list of needs for the closet on another post. Here is who I have signed up with the number of kids, please let me know if you plan to come so I can plan accordingly.

Several Lifeway Teachers have parents/grandparents who passed away last week or are deathly ill. Please keep them all in your prayers as well as the school.

Bartmiers/Roughleys/Swarengins - their grandmother had a mini stroke, she is doing ok, but has a long road of recovery. She is in Colorado so its very difficult for them, as they can't go see her.

Gayduseks - Warren's mom now has to have an ankle replacement.
