Hello All:

Christina Halpern has a birthday on February 7th. HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTINA.

Gaston will be teaching this Sunday on Religion and Science.

Our class has been asked to assist in a program that pairs new Church members with existing Church members. Someone of a similar age, gender, etc. that can show them around Church, help them find a Sunday School Class ( basically, welcome them and make them feel at home). We will pass around a "sign-up" list on Sunday. Give it some thought !

See you on Sunday - Bring a Friend.

From:	Reatha Andrew

Dear Ownbey Family, Here's the latest on the Halperns... -------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Reatha My mother saw her pulmonologist yesterday. Unfortunately, her emphysema (which has been under control for several years) has worsened. She will begin two new medications tomorrow which should alleviate her bronchial congestion and help her to breathe more easily. She is very tired and has difficulty speaking for long periods of time. My father is regaining strength and is feeling better, though still on a restricted low-fat diet (and, of course, now very worried about my mother!). Fortunately, my parents have some help at home every day which is making the situation just about manageable. My parents are very grateful for the offers of help, etc from the class. They prefer NOT to have phone calls or visits at the moment until my mother's condition improves, and she can speak more easily.

If anyone would like more details, I can be reached on xxxxxx
Warm regards,
Lucia

Subject: Saturday update on Halperns Date: Sat, 10 Jan 2009 19:36:14 EDT From: Reatha Andrew To: Dear Ownbey Family, Got this today from Lucia... -------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Reatha I don't have much "news" to add to the update I sent last Sunday. My father will have a follow-up appointment with his doctor on Tuesday so we m ight learn more then about possible "next steps" for his gallstones.  My mother continues to be very bothered by her bronchial infection a nd is now very hoarse. She continues to have severe coughing att acks -- particularly when she talks. I'm hoping she will also be able to get a follow-up appointment with her doctor this week as she's now been suffering for nearly 5 weeks. Warm regards Lucia --- Hope to see you in class tomorrow! Reatha - Sat - 7pm

01/04/09 SS

*** *** *** *** *** Notes from Reatha about Sunday School Class of 01/04/2009. Reatha presided and taught and did a fine job in both roles. Mel returned home this afternoon from hospital. As we thought yesterday, the abdominal pain he experienced was due to gallstones (previously undiagnosed ). He now has to follow a low-fat diet and will need to consider future options to address gallstones (surgery or other). Mel is very tired since he didn't sleep well in the hospital, and Cristina still has difficulty speaking because of her cough (and, of course, she hasn't slept much in the last few days either), so best not to call them for a couple of days. Adrian will return to Chapel Hill on Monday and they are working on plans to make sure they have the support they need during the week. As for other H&H... 1. We were THRILLED to have CAROL DOUGLAS, LINDA MYERS, and HARLAN CREECH join us in SS this morning -- esp. w/the rather gloomy weather (and the fact that I was the lesson leader!) Harlan said that next time a doctor says "procedure" to him, he'll keep a lawyer handy on each side...! 2. WILLARD talked w/Bryan Crutcher about our helping w/ROOM IN THE INN, and Bryan assured him that there will be plenty of backup if we need it. Since it had been mentioned the other week that we should vote on this, Willard moved that we take part as we usually do. It was seconded, discussion followed -- including the fact that "our" weekend, Mar 13-14, is the Adults PLUS trip to LaGrange, GA -- question was called, the vote taken, and it passed unanimously. [well, at least there were no NAYS -- i just realized i forgot to ask for any abstentions...] And speaking of boo-boos on my part... while I was eating lunch and reflecting on today's lesson, I realized that when I mentioned my HS experience at Lamb's Chapel and some folks speaking in tongues, I said that I had considered quoting The Iliad from my Latin class -- oops. The Iliad was Greek; I should have said The Aeneid. 3. DON HAMMER reminded us that we have a curriculum meeting on THUR JAN 15, 7pm, in room 110 (our classroom.) And speaking of Don Hammer... After class I was chatting w/him and Carol and realized something ELSE in the lesson that I had meant to relate. In looking at why it's better for ministers to go to div school, or at least continue their reading/studying, the questions might be asked: would you like for a surgeon to operate on you if he/she had NOT been to med school? ...or have a lawyer represent you if he/she had NOT been to law school? Is your spiritual life any less important? Birthdays this week: Mon 5th - Martha Bledsoe Tue 6th - Dottie Tobias Fri 9th - Jane Pixley Sat 10th - Jairo Orozco (Oscar's stepson) This morning after Carol mentioned LIBBA HERBERT -- and Ches' limiting her to one "ugly" per day -- I said that she has a birthday later this month. I checked my file -- Sun 25th. She'll be 101 :-) Peace, Reatha - Sun - 10:15pm

Subject: Fwd: Mel Halpern Date: Sat, 03 Jan 2009 18:19:52 EDT From: Reatha Andrew To: Dear Ownbey Family, Got this from Lucia tonight. Will keep you posted as I hear from her. Peace, Reatha - Sat - 6pm -------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Reatha My father was admitted to CMC yesterday, following an attack of severe abdominal pain. He underwent tests yesterday and today. The current thought is that he might be suffering from complications from gallstones. We hope to have a more definitive diagnosis tomorrow as well as a better idea of what treatment might be required. He's resting comfortably and is now able to eat some soft/liquid foods. Adrian drove down from Chapel Hill yesterday and he and Marcelo have been with my parents at C MC. My mother continues to suffer from a bronchial problem and severe cough that has troubled her for the last 3-4 weeks. She would p refer not to have any visitors or phone calls for the moment because it is difficult for her to speak without coughing. I will send an update when I know more. Regards Lucia
