Tish's (Step) Father Has Passed

Our friend has lost his fight with cancer. Mike was a wonderful friend and will be missed by many.  He is at peace and in no more pain now.

Please keep the family in your prayers.

Mike Reynolds, Tish's Dad, Is New Supervisor For The Project

Mike Reynolds has volunteered to oversee the completion of getting Tish's house completed.  He told me that he has been there working on the house anyway, so it's no problem for him...Thanks so much, Mike.

Mike will need help!  Central Presbyterian's Carpenters for Christ will be assisting him as they can.  They will be working there on Monday, July 18, on painting some boards and maybe working on building a deck.  Please let me know if you can help on Monday and I will let Hugh Wise, Supervisor for CCC, know.

Please be in prayer for Tish's step-father, who has Hospice with him now.  This family is very strong and close.  Their faith is getting them through all of this.

Since the Church In Abingdon has not received any donations for the past few months and we feel that most of the materials, etc. have been purchased, I wanted to post a statement to show the contributions and expenses for this project.

For those wanting to know about Bob Turner's condition:  On Wednesday, the doctor removed 29cc of fluid from his left knee and gave him a shot of cortisone in his right knee.  He has a torn meniscus in his right knee.  He will go back to the doctor on August 3 to see how he has improved.  It will be determined then if he will need out-patient surgery to repair the meniscus on his right knee.  He has been feeling much better since he received the cortisone.  Thank you for your prayers.

I'm Asking for Help!

Hello, Everyone!

I hope this finds all of you well and having a wonderful summer.

I am asking for someone to please take over finishing this project.  If you can oversee the project, please email me at ItsMelissaT@aol.com or call me at 276.356.5092.

My husband, Bob, is not going to be able to oversee it any longer.  He has hurt himself, evidently on May 10, when he fell off our office's roof while replacing it from the Glade Spring tornado of April 28.  He suffers now with knee pain and some back pain, along with no rest from the pain.  Progress on his healing has been very slow.  Please pray for Bob's healing.  Thank you in advance for your prayers. 

Regarding progress on Tish's house:  Central Presbyterian Church's mission group, Central Carpenters for Christ, has been working on Tish's house when time permits.  They have laid & grouted all the tile for the house (two baths, a mud room & the kitchen), assembled & hung all the kitchen cabinets, done some painting and probably more things that haven't been told to me. 

They, also, have been working diligently in Glade Spring with the tornado victims' houses and getting ready to build two Habitat for Humanity houses in Bristol this fall!  Wow!  Thank you, Central Presbyterian! 

Carpenters for Christ is a small group that needs more workers...If anyone would like to sign up to help CPC with the Glade Spring recovery efforts and/or with the Habitat for Humanity houses, please go to http://www.cpcbristol.org/ to get information about volunteering.  Their main focus now is to work on these two areas.

Bless all that are reading this for caring and wanting to help someone!
