Many of you may remember Becky Bland, a member of our church, who passed away the end of last year. I received word today that her 17 year old son, Kenneth (they call him Bear), was diagnosed with stage 2 Hotchkins Lymphoma today at Children's Hospital. They have already put a port in and are going to begin chemo therapy this week. As you can imagine, this is a tremendous shock to the family. Please pray for Bear.
Also, pray for Joe (Becky's son) and his wife Edleyna who are members of Hillview. They moved to Newark to take care of Bear and his sister when Becky passed away. This is a tremendous load they are having to bear. They are such a sweet couple and we need to support them during this difficult time.
