Monte & Erla Turk on the passing of Monte's sister, Lee Mohler
in Santa Cruz, CA. She had a massive stroke last Sunday night and
passed away on Wednesday, December 13. Please keep the Turk's in your
prayers as they travel to CA for the funeral. Barbara Dean developed an infection from her kidney donation surgery and had to have the site of the incision drained. She is now home, but it should take 3 - 4 weeks to completely heal. Please keep Barbara in your prayers. Bev Fuhrmann has requested our prayers on behalf of her sister, Lola Ladwig. She is in the hospital with a serious infection which they are trying to clear up so that they can do further testing. Please continue to pray for Bill Youngs. He was released from the hospital but while there they discovered an aneurysm and will need to undergo further testing. Continue to keep Jim Riley's great niece, Emily Partin and her family in your prayers. She is now out of ICU following surgery to have part of her skull removed after a serious accident. However, her baby did not survive. Our Love and Sympathy is extended to the entire Riley and Partin families. Please continue to pray for healing and comfort. Michele Dodson's friend, Kris Larson, is currently in the hospital with cancer. Her husband has set her up with a lap top computer so that she can receive emails. She could use some messages of encouragement from the body here at Littleton. Please email her at Kris.larson@comcast.net. Thank you in advance for reaching out to her. PLEASE KEEP these folks in mind when
praying... A FOND FAREWELL to Robert & Gwen Owen. They are moving to Milan, TN and this Sunday, December 17 will be their last Sunday to worship here with us at Littleton. We wish them all the best as they begin a new chapter in TN! They plan to load the truck for moving on the morning of Saturday, December 23 and could use some help with the big items.
