Prayers

Well the Pritchard Family is off on a RV road trip this weekend. We are heading to Alabama to camp with some birthmark buddies(as we call them). We will not be in Life Group on Sunday. Please pray for travel mercies, and that we won't end up like that movie "RV" with Robin Williams. That would not be good! Have a Happy Labor Day everyone, and see ya when we get back

Another modification

Hey everyone, it's me, Chad, again. I made another change to our blogsite. If you will notice on the lower, right-hand side of the page, I have added an additional link that will take you directly to the "class pics." I did this, so that you will be able to get to them in the future and not have to search back through all of the posts, to try to find the date of the post that I placed today's post & the link to the site on. So, either link (the one that in the post, or the one on the right-hand side) should take you to the pics. Any problems, let me know. Hope everyone likes what I did. See ya Sunday.

Family Pics Slideshow

Hello everyone,

Well, I waited on everyone to get their pictures in as long as I could for the project that I have been working on. :o) I could not wait any longer, I wanted everyone to see what I have put together for our class to see. I hope that everyone likes what I have done with the pictures. Please give me some feedback and let me know how you feel about it. Also, if you have not turned in your pictures, please continue to do so. I can still use them and rework what I've done. Thanks and I hope that everyone "enjoys the show........."

Prayer Request

Please pray for my family. This has been a busy week in my extended family for medical problems. I won't go into great detail because there are about 7 people that have new or worsening issues.

Thanks,
Chad D.

Newsletter

There will not be a newsletter this week. If you have any prayer requests you can send them to myself via e-mail. Any announcements will be posted to the blog daily.

Parents Night Out

The College ministry is hosting a Parent Night Out for just our class! It will be Saturday, September 6th from 5-8.

Emily White- Prayer Request

Lisa, Could you send out this update on my dad Harvey Hill's test results. His test came back and the cancer has not spread but the cells are still active. They are going to do some more tests to see if there are any other problems and see what they can do to reduce the pain he is in.

Thanks,
Emily White

Great Links

Chad --
Thank you so much for adding the links to the church, FBA, and David's Blog.

Hey guys,

I just checked out the family ministry blog. I am so excited at what David has done. I am esp. looking forward to the articles. Hopefully see some of you all after while.

Remember, tonight is the scrapbook night @ the church from 6-11. You just need to bring a snack and a drink! (No HACM allowed!)
Also, my dad just put together a FBC families blog. Hopefully the link will attach! It is very cool.

My stepmom called yesterday and said they had to cancel my dad's chemo yesterday because he had swollen lymphnodes in his throat.  He is having a PET scan tomorrow.  Please pray for good results.  Thanks, Tarah

Hello everyone. I posted the newsletter that Lisa does such an excellent job on for us every week. Sorry that I did not get the pictures published on there. Everything else is on there though. Unlike before, when I did not have everyone's address, everyone should be able to see it now. If you have any troubles, please let me know.

Also, as a reminder again. If you will (or want to) please send me a picture of you & spouse (& family, if this is case) & I will fix us up a pretty cool little contact page. Just send these to my e-mail address. (bates.chad@gmail.com) If you do not have access to a scanner, or cannot send them via e-mail, just bring me a photo next week & I'll fix it up for you on the tech stuff that I've got at home.

Everybody have a good week.

Prayer Request

I also ran into Josh Hipshire this week. He has asked that you all pray for him and his family in an unspoken request.

Prayer Request

Hey all,
Elaine, Mike's mom, had a test run while we were at the beach and it showed that the tumor was growing again. She had a biopsy and finally after 3 years they were able to determine it is actually cancer, adenocarcinoma to be exact. She goes for another test on Tuesday and then some lung tests to determine if she will be able to have surgery. The huge praise it that it is curable with surgery or radiation, but they would prefer to do surgery if her lungs can stand it. I/we appreciate all your prayers for our family.

It's me again!!!! Just talked to Jill Morton. She said she and baby were doing well. She is not getting much sleep at night but she said it is much better than being pregnant!!! She sounded really good and was excited about the class bringing dinner tonight(thank you Ginger and Tracy). Thanks to everyone who brought gifts to shower their new baby, Logan!!!! I think this is the last time today I will post something....

It

I just got off the phone with Susanna. She said Tuesday she started to notice that she was weezing and her feet, legs, and hips were swelling. She just thought she was getting a cold or something, but as the day went on she was having a really hard time breathing. Ben took her to the ER and her oxygen level was at 87 percent and they want it above 95. They ran some tests for a heart disease and it came back negative. They admitted her and were able to get on a floor that the baby could stay with her. The doctors have told her that it is because she labored for so long that her body is having a hard time getting rid of the fluid. She said she for sure has to stay tonight but thinks they will be able to go home tomorrow. Ben is taking off an entire month so he will be able to help her. Continue to pray for the Harper family.

We missed everyone Sunday! We had a great vacation, though! I got a call this morning from church saying that Susanna had been taken to the emergency room at UT. She was having trouble breathing. I tried to call them this afternoon and there wasn't an answer. I took Edan yesterday to get shots and they were at the doctor also. She, Ben, and Meredith seemed to all be doing fine. As soon as I find something out I will repost. Be praying. Thanks! Allyson

Glad the trip and "celebration" went well Chad. It will be good to see you all too, Sherrods. Andy and I will be teaching Ty's Sunday School class this weekend so we will not be in Life Group. We will be praying for all of the kiddos who will be starting school next week. See you all Sunday.

Hello Everyone!!

Just wanted to know directions to the new class.

We miss you all and cant wait to get back!!

Congrats to all the new parents too! We cant wait to see all the new little members of the Hodoson Life Group Tribe. LOL

The Sherrod Family
Randy, April, & Miss Leah

Thank you for your prayers....

Hello everyone. I wanted to tell everyone thank you for your prayers while I was gone to the "celebration" of my uncle's death. Everything went very well with the service. My family is doing fine and they are holding together strong. Thank you all for your prayers.

On another note, I received an e-mail stating that some people are having problems posting to the blog. I went back through today and rechecked and reset everything, to ensure that it was set up correctly. So, now you should all receive an "invitation" in your e-mail today, inviting you to join the "Hodson Life Group" blog. What you need to do (if you are having problems posting) is follow the directions that accompany that invitation that was sent out. It tells you the exact info about joining the group, setting up your blog account, etc. So, everyone should be able to post if you follow those directions.

If you still have problems, let me know. Have a great week.
