2. Marlene Ware: Marlene’s condition continues to decline. It has been decided by the doctors and family to place Marlene on hospice care. The family is requesting prayers for Marlene’s comfort and peace during this time.

Update: Marlene is still at the Legend’s Care Center in Massillon where she is able to receive visitors. She received a care package from the campers at Cotubic which made her smile! She seems to be in better spirits than last week.

3. Karen Smith: This update from Karen: “Everything is going well except for ear pain off and on which has been very intense at times, especially at night. I went to the surgeon today per his request and he said the pain is associated with the joint most likely due to the bands and how tight they are, at my age things don’t bounce back as quickly. He took off all bands except 2, one on each side to keep the lower jaw positioned where it needs to be. I do still need to be on a liquid diet and no chewing at all. I can remove the bands to eat and brush my teeth. I go back Monday for another follow up. Things do feel strange since my mouth has been one way all my life and now everything feels weird but it will take time.”
4. Freeman & Debbie Kuhns: This update from Debbie: “Freeman has started a 5 day a week radiation/chemotherapy schedule for his cancer. Thus far he is doing very well. He may be a bit tired, but up and about and still working part time from home. Debbie was diagnosed last Sunday with pneumonia and a blood clot in her lung. She is on antibiotics, a blood thinner and limited activity at this time. The severe pain, shortness of breath and weakness seemed a bit better Thursday. Freeman and Debbie would like to thank the brethren for the wonderful prayers and outgoing concerns. The calls, cards, and food have been very much appreciated. We are certainly being blessed with wonderful children and church brethren in our lives during this trial.”
5. McKenna Evans: Adam & Jordan are asking for prayers for her current pregnancy, and their unborn daughter (McKenna). Recent scanning has shown that baby’s developing kidneys are slightly large, which is a concern because Killian also had an issue with his kidneys before he was born. Please pray that the baby develops totally healthy with no kidney issues. 
6. Food Pantry: It is very nice to help out others as needs arise. Please put items on the back table in church and there will be people covering for Debbie who will organize and put things on the appropriate shelves in our storage room. Thanks everyone once again.
