Dear SS Family,

Got this update from ALLYSON about her folks, FRANK & PAT CULBRETH.

Glad they are OK, even if the house isn't in such good shape!

Hey Reatha!

Just wanted you to know that dad and mom's house was hit by a tree.  They are OK.  There is a hole in the roof.

Daddy can't get his car out so that is why he wasn't at church.

Hope you are doing well.

Thank you,

ALLYSON

20181012 Update .... speaker SPENCE Sunday.. , don..,.Anne L ., Carol B. Reatha Yellow Jackets

From:Reatha

Subject: SS lesson (Oct 14th) + some updates

Date: Oct 12, 2018 5:00 PM

Dear SS Family, 1.  Reminder that THIS Sunday (14th) church member SIMON SPENCE will speak to us about the pilgrimage he and his son(s) took earlier this year.  We can also expect some members of his SS class (who have NOT heard his presentation) to join us.  We look forward to hearing him and welcoming them! 2.  DON REDDING was back in 8:30 svc and SS this past week!  He and LINDA could NOT join us Wednesday night at Trio's b/c he'd had his eyes dilated during his eye exam -- but, i'm happy to report that he got a good report from his doc  :-) 3.  And ANNE LUMADUE was able to join us in class this past Sunday!!!  I was going to announce that i had heard that both she and BOB had come to church for their flu shots, but walked into class to see them both.  It was so good having her back! 4.  Below, you will find an update from CAROL BYRAM.  [you can tell from the date, how late i am in sending this out...]  We wish her continued progress in her recovery. Any other news?  [oh, when i got home yest'y after having to stay w/g'kids while CMS was out, i found a limb across my driveway, which i had to move to get my car in -- then i picked up other branches littering the way and also tossed some old car mats onto a chair they'd blown off of... which disturbed a hidden yellow jackets' nest -- the guard hornet stung me 3x:  both hands and my neck!  R hand got the most venom and is still a bit swollen w/fever (and itching) after 24 hrs] Peace, Reatha - Fri - 5pm -----Forwarded Message----- From: Carol Byram Sent: Sep 30, 2018 1:50 PM SS Class Subject: Re: Genesis-Ownbey: Oct stuff and H&H news Hi Reatha, Y'all are just a wonderfully caring group.  Am attending church every Sunday online.  Enjoyed the sermon today and wish had been there for anointing.  Yes, sometimes we have to change seats or at least our perspectives. Several people visited me that 24 hrs in the hospital.  The kindness and concern within this church is exceptional. Update:  I am just discharged from home visitation physical therapy and do not need additional visits at a clinic.  Yaaa!  The 18th will be my MD follow-up evaluation, but am doing well -- pain is manageable and motion is above average for recovery.  I appreciate prayers and thoughts of everyone.  Hope to be back in a couple of weeks. Blessings, Carol                             "Gratitude turns what we have into enough"

20180919 Update Witherington . . .Ericksons

Dear SS Family,

I emailed JOYCE and LAURA WITHERINGTON, who live in Wilmington, to see how they had weathered the storm.

Below, you will find Laura's response.

Also, news from Ann Arbor, MICH:

The ERICKSONs g'daughter HAS arrived!  EVELYN was born early Sunday -- 2:30am -- weighing 6-lb, 12-oz, and sporting a headful of dark hair.  Later in the day momma KATHRYN's BP spiked, so they have been trying to get that stabilized before she and Evelyn can come home.  Obviously ELLEN and GARY will be staying longer than expected, but that's what g'parents are for, right?

Sending loving thoughts to them, the Troxler family, the Witheringtons, and any others in need of special TLC.

Peace,

Reatha - Wed - 1:30pm

Subject: Re: Joyce & Laura: how ARE you???

We were fortunate to evacuate before the storm hit.  We have been trying to get in touch with neighbors to see how the properties have fared in the storm.

1.  Mom’s house is without power now, and two trees came down but landed in the street.  No other damage was reported.

2.  I have heard nothing about my condo, or from my neighbors, but when it rains hard in the past, the back yard floods, so there may be damage to the inside.

Other than that, we are nomads until the NCDMV tells us we can come back in.

Thanks for checking in.  We are happy to be alive and kicking.
