Our New Church Sign....

SAYS IT ALL!!!

Our life at Emmanuel's changed in almost an instant in the last two months. Within that time period, Pastor Barry went from not feeling well, to being admitted to a Philadelphia hospital, to having his liver shut down, to being placed on top of the waiting list for a liver transplant. On Thursday, he was fortunate enough to receive a cadaveric liver transplant. The surgery went well, his new liver is 'healthy and beautiful'....he now begins the long, long recuperation process. If you are so inclined, any prayers would be appreciated that he would have an uncomplicated recovery with no infection and no rejection. In addition, he is in acute renal failure and requiring dialysis....please pray that his kidneys would recover that he can come off dialysis. Finally, pray for Pastor Elizabeth, their sons Kurt and Eric and our church family at Emmanuel's.

Sweetness :)

Well, where to begin?? I might as well just come right out with it and tell you that Adam and Erika are no longer dating, Adam's choice. It's been tough, as I kinda' got attached to her :) Fortunately, with today's technology I've managed to keep in touch with her via text, FB, instant message and best of all, today Alyssa and I went to lunch with Erika! She's involved with the German exchange program at school and currently is hosting Franziska for three weeks. So in addition to getting to spend some time with Erika (and her mom, too), we got to meet Franziska! She is coming to the close of her three weeks here, but Erika gets to go to Germany in June for 3 weeks and stay with Franziska. How exciting!!





Silly Saturday
