CHAPLAIN's CORNER
REV DOCTOR RALEIGH WATSON
We have lost another comrade since our last newsletter. I ask your prayers for Norma and the rest of the family of Ralph Martin.
Several of us were able to attend Ralph’s service.
Many of our members’ situations remain as previously reported. I ask your prayers for all the following:
Herb Taylor is awaiting further treatment and possible heart valve replacement. Phone is 540 662-8956. Don Jones is home, and calls are appreciated. Phone – 540-869-1958. Charles Boyce is at the VA Hospital in Martinsburg, WVA. His room number is 5th Floor, Ward B, Room 340. You may call him at 304-263-0811, Ext 2952. This will take you to the nursing station in Ward B who will connect you to Charles.
I ask that you keep these and the following in your prayers:
Paul Bombardier, Leonard Laconia, Ernest Hill, and Raymond Carter.
Reminder! We are still seeking a person to take the Chaplain/Members’ Services committee chairman’s position. My macular degeneration is making my performance more difficult and driving is a bit “iffy.” Please consider helping out with this committee - even if you feel you cannot take the chairman-ship.
