Updated Reading List and New Additions to the CCC Family

Hey everyone,

We had a GREAT worship service today, but the best part was when Westley and Barbara placed membership with us! Everyone remember to congratulate them next time you see them!

Also, I've updated the reading list for the next two weeks since I'll be gone next weekend.

Take care!

Nathan update 2

I just talked to Nathan this morning at about 9:45. He is awake, minus one appendix, and feeling much better. Apparently, he didn't get into surgery until after 11:00 last night (typical hospital timing).

They made a small incision in his abdomen, near his belly button. In order to see clearly they needed to inflate his belly with CO2. He said that is currently the only uncomfortable thing.

As of now he feels well enough to join Lindsey in Atlanta this weekend for the wedding they are participateing in. He told me that if he doesn't feel well when they release him after 11:00, he may make other plans.

Thanks for all the prayers!

Great Video

Jan Abernathy sent this video out to everyone today and it was so good I thought I'd blog it. Check it out:

Nathan update

I just got another call from Nathan. He DOES have to have surgery to remove his appendix this afternoon or this evening. Lindsey is performing in a wedding and is out of town with the kids.

It sounds like the surgery will be arthroscopic (is that correct?) and will not be as invasive as appendectomies have been in the past and he may even be released tonight. However, as Kevin Slatton told me today, the only minor surgery is one that happens to someone else, so this is still not a fun day for Nathan.

Nathan is trying to decide whether to travel this weekend and be with his family, or stay in the area for the weekend. He'll probably be fairly sore in the aftermath, so please pray for him!

I'll update you all as soon as I know more.

NATHAN in HOSPITAL

Hey everyone,

I just got a call from Nathan who is right now in the hospital in Cumming. He had some abdominal pain this morning and went in. He will be having some tests done at 1:30 with the purpose of deciding whether or not to have his appendix removed.

Please pray as he may have to have surgery today!

We'll try to notify everyone of any news.

Jason Vacation

Hello Church,

I just wanted to fill everyone in on our schedule for the next few weeks. Stacie and the kids and I will be going on vacation from the 21st to the 29th. While we're gone, Nathan will be preaching and Kyle, our intern, will be taking over Tuesday evening Bible study.

Also, Kyle's internship requires him to do some preaching while he is with us. He and I will work together to prepare some sermons and he will be preaching twice in July and once in August.

This will be the first time since we've been with CCC that Nathan has had the opportunity to preach on Sunday morning. I'm looking forward to hearing what he and Kyle have to say!

God bless,

Jason
