Pastor Tony

Dear Faithful Friends...It's been awhile since I wrote, and that's because our God is so good! Pastor is doing well after his second chemo. He has to pace himself each day as his strength is not completely back, but is able to be in his office and preach and do what he loves to do! He has lost his hair, and much weight, but generally is feeling good. A couple prayer requests for him at this point: The third round of chemo is next Tuesday. Pray that is continues to do its thing and rid him of the cancer. He and Debbie will be going home to Massachusetts this weekend to see family and friends. They have witnessed to many family members for years, and they are pretty upset about this trial Pastor is going through. Pray the Holy Spirit will soften their hearts and be receptive to the Gospel, as this is a great burden for him. Also for protection from any "bugs" out there as he visits with his home church family. He needs to be protected from infection, and God is able! We are looking forward to a great testimony of God's working when they return! Thanks you once again for your faithful prayers! God is in control, and we are trusting Him for our miracle!Blessings...Trudy

Beverly Berdy is planning to go on a mission’s trip to Ecuador from February 20 to March 23. Please keep our sister in prayer that God will keep her safe, and that God may use her greatly as she offers help in various ministries.

Dear Friends...Today, Pastor Tony had his second round (3 hours worth)
of chemotherapy. It is not the same as the first in that it is not
hooked to a "drip" for 5 days. And it is not as strong, as he was
physically rocked by the first round. Continue to pray that it does
its
thing and heals him! His spirits are wonderful! He is such an
encouragement to our congregation, and everyone he meets. He preached
an incredible sermon on Sunday! He answered the question, "How do you
handle it when you are told you have cancer (or fibromyalgia, or
marriage troubles, or financial difficulties, or the death of a loved
one...or anything else)"? His answer...TRUST GOD! He knew your life
before the foundations of the world, and NOTHING CAN CHANGE THAT.
Nothing can change the solid grip He has on you if you know Him as your

Savior! He encouraged us that when the storms of life come....don't be

like a turkey who runs to hide in the barn, but be like the eagle and
leave the secure nest to soar on the winds where you have never soared
before! WOW!!! What an answer! Praise God for His faithfulness..and
please keep praying!
Blessings....Trudy

Laurie is now home. She has a cast on her left foot and arm. She is walking, but the casts make it difficult. She is still wearing a back brace due to the compressed vertebrae but no longer needs the collar on her neck. She is getting around the house slowly and her family has been a great help. She deeply appreciates all the meals, prayers, and well wishes.
