REMEMBER OUR SICK

AMBER BUICE has a growth on the outside of her eardrum.  She is for an operation January 13,2010 at Scottish Rite and see if they can find out what is going on with her ears.

SHEILA BUICE has been diagnosed with Graves disease.

DORA COLE fell and broke her right arm and bruised her face. She continues in room 302 at Cobb Hospital with congestive heart failure.

BRENDA COX is going to Piedmont everyday to get her blood pressure under control with the meds she is taken to keep her body from rejecting her kidney.

JEAN CRIBB has been very sick at home with a bacterial infection, and now has pneumonia.

SUSAN HAYES has spent several days in the hospital due to a bad sore on her foot.  She is now at home taking antibiotics trying to keep the infection from the bone.

GAIL HOLBROOK is taking meds  trying to control her blood pressure.  Her diabetes is somewhat stabilized.  Doctors will have to operate and remove an object left behind from her open heart surgery because it continues to cause bacterial infections.

PHYLLIS HOLMES, Betty Singleton's and Sheron Keith's sister, suffered 3rd degree burns on her legs and arm after she tripped and spilled boiling water on herself.  She was in the Grady Burn Unit for a few days; she is now at home.

ASHLEY HULSEY is continuing steroids for respiratory problems.  She was released from Kennestone and will be going to Duke University Hospital for a series of tests to try and finally determine what her problems are and the treatment options.  Doctors now think she may have ALPHA 1  INTERSTITIAL LUNG DISEASE, a genetic lung disease that resembles emphysema.

LINDA JAMES, Susan Jackson's sister, has recurring cancer.  She will have more chemotherapy and radiation.

"The average man's life consists of 20 years of having his mother ask him where he's going, 40 years of having his wife ask the same question, and, at the end mourners also wondering where he's going."

SOUTH COBB NEWS
It has come to our attention that many of our members are congregating in the foyer during worship and talking and generally "catching up" with one another during this time.  This is distracting to those who have to leave the auditorium during worship to take care of sickness, or of a rowdy child.  We ask that you not leave the auditorium during our worship time unless you absolutely need too. Please leave the pews in the foyer for those mothers who are trying to settle down a child, and respect their desire to worship God.  Remember GOD is in our midst; He watches all, and knows all!  Please don't hinder a brother or sister's worship  by our inattention. 

WORSHIP GOD!

A CHANGE IN OUR WORSHIP BEGAN JANUARY 3, 2010!  ANNOUNCEMENTS BEGIN AT 10:55 AM AND WORSHIP BEGINS PROMPTLY AT 11:00 AM.  If you are serving in worship, please see Jeremy or Ronnie as soon as Bible class is over.   Also we ask that everyone be in the auditorium seated as soon as possible.  We are worshipping our Lord together!!

                        Thank You, The elders!

Lexann Johnson needs volunteers to help with the nursery in 2010.  We will be going to a bi-weekly schedule instead of monthly and she needs all the volunteers she can get.
