Sunday Services and Events for August:
- Mama Joyce (Update - From Michelle Jones): Mom's wound is healing nicely. The rehab has scheduled her discharge for Friday, August 14th. Although we've missed home, we've had so many nice moments with rehab residents and staff so we'll actually miss being there. So now, while she continues to do therapy, so she can prayerfully get on a prosthetic for the other leg, we are patiently waiting for her wound to fully close and properly heal. She visits the wound specialist every Friday. It's definitely a memorable journey living at the rehab with her and since she calls me a "helicopter kid", I will be with her daily until she fully heals.I will always say this, because I always mean it...thank you all sooo much for your prayers, cares and donations. It has definitely allowed me to be with her. Meals can still be provided via the following link: https://mealtrain.com/vdmg1g
