To Him be the Honor and Glory. Love and Peace, Irena * GOOD NEWS: Flamonds daughter Jamila, and his mother-in-law were released from the hospital Saturday (after minor injuries in a car mishap). Sorry he couldnt sing with us that day, but we totally understand his need to be with his family, and glad he could be with us Sunday! * Dorothy wrote: I don’t understand current hospital policies. My sister had a heart attack on Thursday and was released from the hospital Friday evening. She is very weak, and thankful to God. Measures she took prevented the attack from being worse. Our prayers for each other are more important than ever as we turn to Him (The Great Physician) instead of putting our trust in man. Thank you for your prayers. I will be with you tomorrow. I will bring Tosha’s robe and stole. Love and Peace - Dorothy * At a recent service @ Hepatha Lutheran Church (18th & Locust St.), we had Arlene, K.C., & 14 Singers: Cheri, Dorothy, Flamond, Gail, Jan, Jerry, John, Joy, Lawrence, Linda C., Matt, Melanie, Tim, Wanda. * At the Sing-along @ Riverview Village Assisted Living Site in Men.
