Your continued prayers are greatly appreciate.
  2. Greg Thomas (Pastor – Cleveland): From BJ Thomas - Good evening all, I wanted to send an update on Greg's health situation for the last two weeks. As a recap, after blacking out while speaking on the Last Day of Unleavened Bread and going into the hospital later that day, Greg has undergone about 10 days of hospitalization and testing to determine the underlying cause of his illness.  He was diagnosed with pneumonia, and also tested positive for parainfluenza 3. They suspected c-diff, but that turned out to be negative. So, he received 10 days of antibiotics, respiratory treatments, an IVIG infusion for low immunoglobulin G levels, and many visits with multiple doctors. Greg's previous diagnosis of chronic leukemia, which has been dormant for 9 years, also played a role in his low immunity. So, Greg will be following up with suggested treatments for leukemia and low red blood cell counts. We are also working with a naturopath to take some steps to rebuild his immunity. Greg is now home and will be working to regain strength and health.  He is grateful for God's mercy and appreciates all the many prayers on his behalf.

  1. Troyer’s Hollow Campout: Mark your calendars for the Annual Troyer’s Hollow Campout June 21-23, 2024! Nestled in the scenic hills of Amish Country near Charm, Ohio, Troyer’s Hollow in the Doughty Valley, it has a long tradition within the local community and the church as a relaxing retreat. A beautiful creek winds through the secluded canyon hollow where we will camp. We have the entire property for two days, and one side on Sunday. Activities planned include a Friday evening Bible Study (8:00 PM), Potluck at Noon, Sabbath Services (2:00 PM), kettle popcorn over the fire, and many campfire discussions.

The campground has covered pavilions with a small kitchen, nicely maintained bathrooms, and shower facilities.  Tent camping is most popular, though there are a few RV/Camper sites.  There are also hotels in the area for brethren who are non-campers.  Please contact Mary Miller or Susan Miller to make your reservations, especially for RVs and campers. 

Please plan to provide your own meals and drinks, aside from the Sabbath Potluck where everyone shares in providing and enjoying the meal with abundance. Don’t forget your camping chairs.

Cost: by donation (a donation box will be available) - Arrival Time: Friday, June 21 after 3 PM                     Departure: Sunday, June 23 by 2 PM

Nearby hotels are available for those who do not wish to camp. Alcohol is prohibited on the property.

If you wish to come, or just have questions, please contact Mary Miller (mary@crawfordmfg.com, 330-204-6972) or Susan Miller (330-204-1756)

  1. ABC Sampler: Mark your calendars, on the Sabbath of July 27th, we will be hosting an ABC Sampler in North Canton.
