HEALTH CARE

Dear Holy Communion Family,

Enclosed in this mailing is a form called Health Care Instructions. Sandy Fleming, an ER nurse at Franklin Square Hospital and congregational member, recently gave it to me. I said I’d be sending you folks out such a form to look at and keep in reserve. We have been hit by two sudden deaths in the past four months, Bill Stemmer and Brent Hall. These kinds of death are rare and unusual but they do happen. Being prepared for an emergency does not mean that you expect it to happen. Being prepared simply helps you to be more ready in case tragedy occurs.

Please look at the form with your spouse or your loved ones and TALK about its contents. If you could, fill it out and keep it in a safe place where you keep important matters. We will have additional copies here at church if you need more. Filling out this form will give you the chance to inform the people you love about your wishes “just in case.” “An ounce of prevention…”

Everybody in the world wants to procrastinate on doing things like this, it is just human nature. Be wise, don’t put it off.

RONALD McDONALD

COME TO RONALD McDONALD HOUSE on Sunday, September 27, 4-7pm.

As you may already know, we have started a ministry with Ronald McDonald House. It is a very simple, straight-forward ministry. We simply cook a meal, take it to Ronald McDoanld’s and eat with the people who are there.

Who are these people? They are the families of a child with a medical crises who have come to one of our renowned Baltimore hospitals for treatment. Most come from Maryland and the middle Atlantic states but they also from all over the US and the whole global community. Each time we go I put my Spanish skills to good use. The families, particularly the Moms and Dads simple need someone to talk to. They are filled with fear, anxieties and concerns about their child’s health and future. They crave contact with other caring adults simply to share the weight of the burden they are bearing. You don’t need any special skills to do this ministry. You simply present yourself and God will use you. The kids who come play games with the kids there.

Mark this date, Sunday, September 27, 4-7pm. We will meet here at church and go down at 4pm. A sign up sheet will be passed around or call us with your intention to go or send an email.

-In Christ, Pastor John
