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
