UPDATE ON MICHAEL ROEVER:
As most of you know, Michael Roever was taken to the hospital (St. Luke’s South) a week ago last Thursday with a gall bladder problem (now understood to be putting toxic fluid into his system), as well as a heart issue (which turned out to be AFib, extreme variations in the heart rhythm). This past Wednesday, he went home to rest and to allow his heart to recover. Later, he will be readmitted to have his gall bladder removed. Your ongoing prayers for Michael are needed and appreciated!
PRAYER REQUEST FOR ANNIE WILSON (CLARIFICATION):
Your prayers are requested for Annie Wilson whose voice condition has seriously worsened. At her Dr.’s appointment a week ago last Wednesday, she was diagnosed as having a voice disorder called Muscle Tension Dysphonia. It occurs when the muscles around the larynx (voice box) are so tight during speaking (or singing) that the voice box does not work efficiently. Results from involuntary movements (spasms) of the voice box muscles can be caused by stress muscles, tendons, and nerves in the back. Annie was told by her Dr. to try not to speak too much, given it is painful to do so. Annie’s voice condition has been ongoing for one year now, but is much worse currently, so your prayers for God’s intervention are much needed.
ASSISTANCE FOR JIM HUTCHINS (REVISED):
In addition to your prayers for Jim Hutchins recovery from his knee replacement infection, he and Sherri need help with the following:
FIRST is help with meals, so please see the “Hutchins Meals Sign-Up List” on the Information Table, if you are able to provide one or more meals during several weeks ahead. Mr. Jeff Sallaz has offered to drop off any cold or frozen dishes brought these next several Sabbaths. There is also a hand-out with the Hutchins’ address and phone numbers. If you are personally dropping off food at the Hutchins’ home, please call before-hand so they will know to expect you.
SECOND, since Sherri works during the week, a man is needed to stay with Jim at home ONLY DURING JIM’S LUNCH-TIME to be sure he doesn’t fall and to help with his lunch, during the initial weeks of his recovery. All that is now necessary is that you be at the Hutchins’ home for about two hours from about 11:00 AM thru 1:00 PM. Please see the “Hutchins’ In-Home Helper Sign-Up List” on the information table, indicating what day or days you are available. Please call Jim at (816) 482-1734 to coordinate the day of your lunch-time visit.

Kansas City Family Weekend: December 29-31
The Kansas City Family Weekend is less than two months away! We’re so excited about it, we’ve broken out in rhyme:
Brighten up your dreary days
with a midwest winter escapade.
By plane or train or motorcade,
come join the Kansas City brigade.
Church and fellowship and games well-played
and formal dance with nations portrayed
all beckon you—if we can persuade
your registration with all dues paid.
The airport Embassy Suites awaits
your family for these coming dates:
December 29th through 31st.
The messages all will be well-versed.
The fun show is getting well rehearsed.
Just go get your family registered!
We’re all rhymed-out now! Here are some additional details: The Embassy Suites can house up to six people per suite for $109/night + tax. A brisket dinner is priced at $22/plate, and children’s chicken fingers meals are $10 or $12, depending on your child’s age. We’re introducing a costume theme of “Ambassadors from Around the World” for Saturday evening. Come dressed as though you were appearing before important heads of state as a representative for the country of your choice. Don’t embarrass them!
Activities for all ages include Bible Studies, a dinner, fun show and dance, family games, sports and gaga ball. We want the Family Weekend to be “all-inclusive,” meaning that we want all ages to enjoy the time together, fellowshipping, dining, laughing, dancing and playing. So register to join us this year!
