- Georgina Sussewell: Dear Church Family and Friends, I am reaching out to ask for your prayers for my mom, Icylin Lewis, as she undergoes hip replacement surgery on August 25, 2026, at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. Please join us in praying for: The Surgical Team & Procedure: For God’s wisdom and guidance over the surgeons and medical staff, and for a smooth, fully successful operation. Recovery & Healing: For post-surgery rehabilitation to go smoothly, and for a swift, comfortable, and complete recovery. If you would like to send cards or notes of encouragement during her recovery, they can be mailed to: Icylin Lewis c/o Danielle Rennalls 4172 Judge St., Apt. 3G Elmhurst, NY 11373. Thank you all so much for your continuous love, support, and prayers.
- Mama Joyce (Update - From Michelle Jones): Mom was officially discharged last Friday so we are home! It's been bittersweet because of all the connections we've made with nurses, assistance, therapists, maintenance, etc. Our sendoff was filled with hugs and tears. Thursday, at her weekly wound care appointment, they said her wound "looks fantastic". I asked her to "say it again" so it was followed by "amazing!" and "wonderful!" We are continuously grateful for your prayers and donations, as it allows me to stay with her daily as she heals. Meals can still be provided via the following link: https://mealtrain.com/vdmg1g

Care & Compassion:
- A Heartfelt Thank You from Me & The Care and Compassion Ministry: I want to take a moment, on behalf of myself and The Care and Compassion Ministry, to sincerely thank our church family and leadership team for coming out and supporting the Wall of Remembrance and our families. On Saturday, we were blessed to welcome approximately 70 family members to our private viewing. It was a deeply moving and meaningful time. While many are still carrying the grief of losing someone they love, they expressed how grateful they were to know that as a church, we had not forgotten their loved ones—or the impact their lives had on our church and on each of us. That, more than anything, reminded us of why this vision was placed on our hearts. ❤️ As I mentioned on Sunday, we know there may be some names we inadvertently missed. If you know of a church family member whose name should be considered for the Wall of Remembrance, please send their name and any pertinent information to: 📧 ministrycareandcompassion@gmail.com. Thank you for helping us continue this important ministry of remembering, honoring, and celebrating the lives and legacies of those who have gone before us.
HOPE:
