It is with deepest regret that we inform you of the passing of Mary L Damron, loving mother of our own Della Kennedy on Wednesday, December 24, 2008. Della is a vital part of our JC Finders life group and an amazingly strong sister in Christ. She was able to be with her family and spend time closely with them as they leaned on each other.

Our prayers, support and sympathy surround Della and the rest of her family as they mourn Mary's passing and learn to move forward without her. We just want Della to know that we love her, support her and will pray faithfully for her and the rest of her family.

We love you D!

Karen Farinha Prayer Request

Not sure if everyone is aware but Karen Farinha is in the hospital with Viral Meningitis. She was admitted Saturday morning and will be in there until at least tomorrow afternoon and maybe until Wednesday. She is on antibiotics, steroids and pain medicine. The biggest problem she has at the moment is monitoring the pain. At the moment she is in the best place for her and is being watched over 24 hours a day.

Please pray for her, her friends and family who are helping her and the doctors/nurses who are taking care of her. She is a most beloved member of our North Star Single Focus family and our true sister in Christ. We will update you when we know more!

Love you girl!

Prayer Requests for Pam and Bambi!

Hi there everyone! It was so awesome seeing each of you yesterday. Thank each and every one of you for being who you are and know that we are so lucky to have each other in our family.

With that being said I would like to include the prayer requests we mentioned yesterday in life group.

Pam is on call Christmas Day and needs our prayers for those whom she has been counseling. It is always difficult to lose someone we love but it would be especially hard to lose them on Christmas Day. Please pray for God to give them at least one more day with those who love and support them.

Bambi also needs our prayers for her friend who has cancer. We know he has just recently been sent home and let us ask God to give him a wonderful Christmas Day with his family surrounding him.

We all worship such an amazing Lord and through Him we can accomplish Anything!! Please pray for those who so desperately need our strength on this HIS birthday.

Christmas Caroling Anyone??!!

Christmas Caroling

We now have 23 people who have committed to sing with us on Sunday December 21st. How exciting that this number includes some of your children as well! As always, our group has an overwhelming heart to serve! If you have not yet responded, please e-mail me (Cassandra). I have put song books together with 12 popular carols. Easy stuff, promise! This is going to be fun!

On December 21st, we will meet at Preston's at 1pm in order to carpool to our first destination, which is an assisted living home for the elderly. We are scheduled to sing there at 2pm. We will then travel to our second destination (we are waiting to hear back from two places to decide where we will go). The specific names of the places and directions will be posted in an upcoming email. After our singing gig, we will head back to Preston's for desserts and fellowship. For those who can not or wish not to sing, please meet us at 5:30 at Preston's for this special time together.

In Christ,
Cassandra

Prayer Request December 7th!

Hi family! We have received prayer requests from both Gail and Carla this week. They have both been given some pretty hard news regarding their employment status this week and would like our prayers. Let's all pray for them in this trying economic time and ask God to wrap them up in his ever protecting arms and deliver them safely to the job destinations he has in mind for them both! Love you both and we know you will make it through this, just lean on HIM!!! :)
