Hi everybody

Next, I also have an update on my father. He is preparing to go for his procedure. He is in good spirits and we are confident in the outcome of the procedure.

Hi Everybody

I wanted to update everybody on dad’s condition and progress. He was admitted Thursday evening with pain related to his previous heart attacks. After several tests and debate, the scheduled a Catheterization on Friday which was postponed. Monday, they performed a stress test followed by a catheterization. During the Cath, the doctor found a blockage and had difficulty trying to perform the procedure to repair it and chose to stop and transfer dad to Pittsburgh where they are better suited to treat high risk procedures.

So, Dad is being transferred to Presbyterian Hospital in Pittsburgh today, he will be scheduled for the procedure tomorrow with Dr. Toma, a very reputable cardiologist.

We ask that you would lift dad up in your prayers, pray that the transportation to Pittsburgh goes without any complications. Pray that there will be a calmness and assurance in Dad, Sharon, and all of the family, that this is in God’s hands and His desires will be the outcome. Ask the Lord to anoint the medical staff as they perform their procedures and that the result will bring dad home healthier than he was before entering the Hospital.

Thank You

Pastor Kevin

Hi Everybody

Since the weather forecast is calling for a steady rainfall tomorrow, I am going to postpone the work day. However, I have seen that the forecast for Tuesday afternoon is warm and sunny.  So, I am going to reschedule the cleanup of the grounds in preparation for the Egg Hunt for Tuesday afternoon starting at 4:00 and we will work until we are finished.

If you are unable to be there right at 4:00, come when you are able. My hope is many hands make light work; so the more that show up the less time it will take.

I hope to see you then!

Thank You

Pastor Kevin

Hi Everybody

I have a prayer request for my father, Ern Davis. Dad was taken to the hospital last evening with some pain related to his previous heart attacks. They did some testing and decided to keep him overnight for observation and then have the cardiac specialists meet with him today sometime. He is currently waiting for that meeting.

I am asking that you pray that all symptoms would subside and that his tests would come back normal and that if they decide to do further testing that he gets good results. Pray also that during this time that the Lord would calm any anxiety and worries and that he would be found to be in good health and be able to return home.

Thank You
