Ethel Kent was admitted to Wheeling Hospital last Monday for tests on 2 masses—one in her lungs and one immediately below one of her lungs. Marcelyn Jones is gradually declining at Cumberland Pointe. John Sowinski is being treated for an infection in his injured foot. Gail Bigler is to undergo an EDG this coming Thursday for her reoccurring intestinal pain. Kevin Kalany’s condition continues to improve.
Curtis Blake is at home but remains in critical condition under Hospice care. Vera Perry’s doctors have recommended that she not have hip surgery, but that it should be treated with medication. Louis Bain, Kate’s husband, was to undergo surgery in Columbus this past Friday to remove a lump from behind one of his ears. Hunter Bearup is to have a cyst removed from his ear in the near future at Morgantown. Peg Spielvogel is soon to receive a morphine pump to help ease the pain in her back.
Ed Hirauk, a friend of Donna Turley who has been worshipping with us the past several Wednesday evenings, was admitted to Wheeling Hospital last Wednesday with chest pains. Darrell Newland, Paul Huffman’s uncle, had 2 stents inserted at Wheeling Hospital after experiencing a heart attack last Tuesday. Tom Russell, Greg Nestor’s grandfather, is now undergoing physical therapy at Belmont Community Hospital. Elmer LaRue, one of our former shepherds, is now home from the hospital. Joseph Gray, the premature son of one of Rose Voscavitch’s friend, was recently hospitalized with problems related to his premature birth.
Ed & Bea Stelmach, members of the Wheeling congregation who have worshipped with us frequently would like to worship with us more often. But due to Ed’s health, they are unable to do so. Let’s encourage them.

IN SEARCH OF THE LORD’S WAY
Some think the Bible is too hard to understand or that it’s not meant to be understood. We believe, however, we can know the Lord’s way and be blessed for knowing it. In next week’s lesson, “Not Too Hard,” Phil Sanders will demonstrate how understandable the Bible really is. The program can be seen locally every Sunday on WTRF-TV, Ch. 7, at 7:30 a.m.
