Leon Reynolds

Brother Leon's surgery went well yesterday. He is back home today. Getting back to his regular routine will take a couple weeks. He is thankful for the successful surgery. The family requests continued prayer.

Cathy Coleman

Shiloh, Cathy's daughter, spoke to Karen today and reported that Sister Cathy was trying to pull the tube out of her throat and mouth today. When the nurses restrained her, she opened her eyes and gave them a stern look. After she was restrained, she closed her eyes and relaxed again. She was taken to surgery to have the tubes removed from her mouth and throat and to have a tracheal tube inserted. According to Shiloh, this was a step forward for Sister Cathy's recovery. The family requests continued prayer.

Update On Sister Cathy Coleman

I learned today that Sister Cathy is now being fed through a feeding tube. While visiting with her daughter, Shiloh, and husband, Michael, I was informed that she has brain activity since she moves her hand and has facial expressions involuntarily. She is still in a comatose state and the doctors do not predict when she will awake. The wounds she has on her face and right eye area are healing. She continues to rest without sedation and pain medication. The doctors plan to remove the tubes through her mouth and insert a tracheal tube sometime soon. The family continues to request prayer. Let us continue trusting the Lord for Sister Cathy and the family.

Update On Sister Cathy Coleman

This morning around 8:30, I spoke with Sister Cathy's husband, Michael. He reported that the doctors took Sister Cathy off of sedation last night. He also reported that the doctors now say they cannot predict whether she will come out of the coma or not. Continued prayers are requested and appreciated for Sister Cathy and the family.

Karen and I are transporting Sister Cathy's granddaughter, Mariah, to youth camp this afternoon.

Update On Sister Cathy Coleman

This morning, Karen spoke with Shiloh, Cathy's Daughter. After the 9 am visit, Shiloh reported that Sister Cathy still is in a comatose state but there have been no changes for the worse or better. She continues to be stable but has shown no attempt to awaken. She continues to be sedated. The family continues to request prayer. Let us continue in prayer for Sister Cathy and the family. We are believing God for a miracle.

Update On Sister Cathy Coleman

Today Sister Cathy's prognosis is some better. When we visited at 1 pm, the doctor has said that he believes she will wake up in time. She is breathing on her own, at times, which shows some brain activity. She is on a ventilator to help her get extra air and is continuing on sedation to keep her calm so her brain will not increase pressure. She has responded some to stimulus and there is no serious pressure in her brain. The waiting is difficult for the family. Your continued prayers are needed.

Update On Sister Cathy Coleman

Sister Karen and I spent several hours with the Coleman and Lawrence families last night and also prayed with Mike, Cathy's husband, and Sister Mildred Lawrence, Cathy's mother. Cathy had not awakened as of 7 pm last evening. We will continue to update as we get information. We plan to visit again today during the 1 pm scheduled visit. She is only allowed four thirty minute visits and the family needs most of that time. They are asking for your prayers more than anything right now.

Sister Cathy is in the arms of a mighty and loving God. Only He knows her condition. Doctors say they can't predict if she will awake and if she does, what damage she will have. Your prayers for Sister Cathy and the family are desperately needed.

Update On Sister Cathy Coleman

Vickie Lawrence, sister to Cathy Coleman, reports that Sister Cathy will be taken off of sedation this morning to see how she is responding and to further check for any significant injury - specifically to her head and brain. Please continue to pray for her and the family.

Urgent Prayer Request

Sister Cathy Coleman, the clerk and treasurer of Huntingdon Church of God of Prophecy, is in intensive care at Jackson General Hospital in Jackson, TN. She had a motor scooter accident today coming home from work. She has been stabilized but doctors are monitoring for any other internal injuries. The family is requesting prayer. Let us pray together for this request.

FATHER'S DAY

Yesterday was another great day of worship as we gave honor and adoration to our mighty Savior. Jesus brought us the message of His Heavenly Father. We visited the scripture text in John 14:8-11. How awesome it is to know that God sent His only begotten son so that we could cry Abba, Daddy, Father. He taught us to pray, "Out Father which art in heaven. . ."

We recognized and honored the father's present and shared a little gift with each and had the congregation pray for them. Thank God for the fathers - the men - of our church.

Youth Camper, Jonah Davis

Jonah Davis stands by his cabin ready and raring to get involved in youth camp. He chose to go to camp rather than go with his family on vacation to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. This is his second year in camp and he really enjoys camp. Jonah is the son of Jeff and April Davis and the grandson of Jimmie and Virginia Davis and the great-grandson of Willodene Davis, all who attend church here at Huntingdon. Jonah is wearing his camp shirt with the letters MHP which stands for the theme of camp - MISSION HIMPOSSIBLE. We are thankful for our youth and children.

Chidren's Ministry - Sunday Afternoon, June 8, 2008

Thank God for a special time with the children that He has given for us to minister to. We enjoyed feeding the children and then having some game activities with them. We love each one - Flora, Ashlyn, Haley, Dalton, Corbin, Eingland, Mariah, Brooks, Jonah, Brandon and Jordan. We missed Aviana, Riley, Macey and Hayden today. The pictures below will say more than I can try to say. We enjoyed the time ministering to the children. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Update

It seems like hours turn into days and days turn into weeks so fast


It is now 2:15 am Sunday Morning. It has been a very busy week. Karen and I have been to Nashville most of the week with Karen's in-service training for her school teaching. I have been taking care of some business there.


Today, I rented a U-haul and helped my youngest daughter and her daughter move to her new apartment in Hermitage. She is getting registered for college. She needs a couple more years to have her degree in Early Childhood Education - pre-k through 4th grade. She wants to teach Pre-Kindergartner or Kindnergartner classes. We left early this morning and traveled to Manchester to get her furniture and back to Hermitage.


We have a guest visiting with us this weekend. Haley Harwell, Jason's friend, is visiting with us. She and Jason are supposed to sing for us tomorrow in our morning service.

Got to hit the sack and get a few hours sleep before getting up tomorrow - today????

Good night or is it good morning??!

Update

Several days have passed since I last posted. We are thankful for another great time of being in the presence of the Lord this weekend.

Here is some news. . .

Wednesday evening's service was great. God's presence was evident as we worshipped and then visited the scriptures where Jesus marvelled. Two times the scriptures record that Jesus marvelled. Look those scriptures up and you can see why he marvelled.

Sunday morning the we worshipped and gave honor to our mighty God. A special time was when we joined in the prayer circle and heard the testimony of Carla Lawton, Josh's wife. She told of how the Lord had brought them through Josh's surgery. Her family, her Father Jimmie Davis and family, her brother Jeff Davis and family were present. Several were in the altar seeking. . .

Sunday evening was youth emphasis. Paul Rivera did a great job moderating the service and Casey Duncan presented the devotional. Both did an awesome job. The youth led in praise and worship. We enjoyed a surprise visit. Joe and Barbara Watson, Pastor and spouse of Jackson church visited along with Ronnie and Debbie Eaton who were long time members of Huntingdon. Pastor Watson and Brother Ronnie shared a song and testimony. They also requested prayer. We prayed together in a prayer circle and lifted up each other's ministry to the Lord. We believe God is doing a great work and there will be great results for the Jackson Church and the Huntingdon church. We are planning some times of fellowship and ministry together.
