CHAPLAIN's CORNER
REV DOCTOR RALEIGH WATSON
Please keep Jerry Lunt in your prayers. As I write this column, he is scheduled for complicated foot surgery in two days – 26 Aug.
I know of no other recent sicknesses or problems, but please remember the following, who are some of our members with recurring situations in the past several months:
Paul Bombardier, Leonard Laconia, Raymond Carter, Herb Taylor, Narce Caliva, Paul Campbell, and Charles Boyce.
Please keep us informed if you learn of a comrade who is sick or in need of prayer.
Reminder: During these difficult “Covid times,” when many of us are still not going out very much, we do not see as much of one another. The word-of-mouth network is not highly active. It is much more important to let us know when you learn of a comrade with a health problem or other situation. Please all me if you learn of members in need. My phone is 540 955-2183, and you may leave a message.
THE TROUBLE WITH PEOPLE MISSING YOU IS THAT YOU'RE NOT THERE TO ENJOY IT
