20120223 Reatha Update

Dear Ownbey Family,I've been having email pblms today -- are those solar flares still messin' w/cyberspace? -- so this note is late again this week!  And yest'y i was under-the-weather so much so that i never got around to emails...

Last Sunday  . . . . SUSAN MOBLEY opted out of leading our lesson in the name of safety.  She has rescheduled to teach us on May 5th  

Tomorrow we will continue what the dozen or so of us who were able to make it to SS last week began:  a study of the book of Proverbs.  The book is HOW TO READ PROVERBS, and its author is Tremper Longman, III.  If you get a chance, you might read thru chapters 1-9, our main focus for now.  You might also BRING A BIBLE w/you to class tomorrow -- we had enough copies in the room for the few folks who came last week, but having your own copy will come in handy!

BOB reported that ANNE is resting at home, and that that's what she'll be doing for 6-8 weeks, at least.  They are "honorary g'parents" for their n'hood, so right now, they are well-fixed for food, etc.  Bob will let us know if/when they need anything else  

I had the pleasure of sitting w/DOTTIE  last Monday.  As i think i mentioned before, her daughter (SISSY) and husband (MIKE ) will be moving in w/her in the next few months.  We are still offering a Care Team, and that brings me to this:  some of the former CT members are having to rotate off, so we need some NEW volunteers.  The main purpose of this team is to offer fellowship w/Dottie and to relieve the schedule of the family and healthcare workers.  If you think you can offer some time to visit every few weeks, please contact SUSAN MOBLEY,  smobley@mpumc.org .  
BTW:  must love dogs      Panko is a wonderful and wiggly Shih Tzu -- a grand companion to Dottie and a fast friend to anyone who gives her attention!  She even "loves on me" altho' i smell like my two cats  _^..^_

AND... don't forget:  our annual SPAGHETTI luncheon will be NEXT Sunday, March 3d, after the 11:00 svc in J.Hall, $7/plate.  If you can't get to class tomorrow and have yet to sign-up, contact DURWARD  asap to get on the list and make arrangements to pay him!  d   As of two weeks ago, we had only 14 signed up -- however, i know that BETTY  and RICHARD weren't on it, and they are coming as my guests, so there may be others.

Hope to see you tomorrow.  Chancel Choir is debuting a new piece at ALL FOUR services!
Peace, Reatha - Sat - 6:45pm 2/23/2013 5:55 PM

Her family will receive friends in Jubilee Hall following the service.
