Family Time

This past Sunday we gathered together to pray for LaShay (the mom of a family God has tied us to) who was scheduled for back surgery early this morning. We asked LaShay if she would join us so we could gather around and pray for her. LaShay has come to Calvary in the past, but it has been a while-she graciously accepted out invitation, even though she doesn't enjoy being the center of attention. What a neat time of Worship. We love them as a part of us- in fact, LaShay will say that we are her family.

Early this morning a few of us were able to be at the hospital with LaShay, her mom and oldest son Marcel. I am pleased to report that the surgery went very will. The doctors were able to replace a disk in her lower back and believe that the others are in good condition. She will have about 3 months of recovery-and then back to better than normal.

Here are some things we are praying for, if you would like to join us...

*a good healthy recovery

*for the families finances-LaShay will be off from work for several weeks w/out pay and this has put a huge strain on their family (Calvary is helping out financially as much as she can)

*for the children to do a good job with their chores while their mom is in the hospital the next couple of days, as well as when she comes home.

*for God to continue to use this time to reveal Himself to LaShay and her family
