I wanted to let everyone know that my friend, Sandra Schindler, passed away during the night.  Her husband, Tom, sent an e-mail to let her friends know.  I just talked to him.  I believe he is still in shock.  Apparently it was due to respiratory failure.  I talked with Sandra last week.  She had fractured her back causing lots of pain.  She had been immobile for a year and was back in the hospital.  Now she is on "the other side" and free of pain.  When I first heard the news, I was sad, cried and then cried with Tom as we talked on the phone.  Now I feel a sense of peace and relief for Sandra.  God bless her as she is now on an exciting adventure exploring the spiritual side of Light and Love.
 
Please continue to hold Tom, and Sandra's family (Mom, 2 sons and grandchildren) in light and love.  Thank you for all your prayers.  If you would like to send a card to Tom his address is 1605 Kanawha Terrace, St. Albans, WV 25177.

Rick

    Please continue to lift Rick up in prayer. He will have a biopsy and broncoscopy today at Memorial as part of the normal follow up after transplant.  He has had some of his meds changed and is doing better with less nausea and vomiting. He has lost so much weight in the last six weeks but we know and affirm that his body processes and removes all disease and his medicine will balance so that he will regain his normal weight and strength.
 
We wish we could be with you this Saturday but it looks like we will be in a hospital for the next week or more.
 
Thank you for all of the light and love sent our way.

Subject: Fall Festival



Saturday is almost here.  The weather report mentions a shower possible.  But, we have three days to see if weather patterns will vary or change and might be better than predicted.  However, no matter the weather...the festival will go on.  Phyllis, Linda and Kim are meeting in the church kitchen Friday at 1:00 to proceed with the caramel apples; I'll be on hand should they need help with supplies.  There are lots of prizes for games,  and there are novelties to buy.  Shaklee products will be sold on site.  Games, like Wheel of Fortune and Corn-Hole bean bag toss will be happening - somewhere!  A costume parade and judging will occur and prizes for costumes awarded.  Pumpkin painting will also be available for anyone with a mind to decorate one for their porch for Halloween. There will be two face painters, one being our own Devin Elliott, and another that Ann Bostic was able to find.  Barbie will be offering short 'Life Coaching' sessions to those who'd like to sample her wonderful ability to assist others in setting goals.  Chair massage will be there, and Marianne and Kathy will be available to comfort those muscles that haven't been appreciated properly for awhile.  Of course there's Danny and Sandy who will be grilling and serving hot dogs - with all the trimmings.  Jim Selby will be taking money for the food line as well as selling tickets for games.  Sky and Ron will be on hand to host open mic with those who'd like to step up and entertain everyone.  Books, CD's and T-shirts will be sold by Pam and Paul.  Sharon will be on hand to make pricing signs for the activities so everyone will know where the activities are and the price of tickets (.50).  We still need baked goods: pies, cakes, and individually wrapped desserts for the food line.  You can drop them off Friday afternoon at the church. 

Wow!  Could there be a better reason to plan on stopping by Unity this Saturday, October 29th?  Come on out and have some fun.  We could use help with the
games if anyone has a mind.  Sure would be appreciated.  And remember, all proceeds will go to the church.  The loan pay-off is our goal..and we can do it together.  SEE YOU THERE!!!!!!!!!

Unity "All Saints" Service this Sunday at 11am

Our "All Saints" rememberance service is this Sunday at 11am at Unity.
Our service last year was very special for many people.

Please bring an item (a photo, a flower, a special memento) that reminds you of that special person who meant a lot to you in your life.

There will be a table set up to hold these special items.

And, as we did last year, there will be time in the service if anyone wants to say a few words in remembrance of their loved one.

Thanks

Sky

Pam, I just received this from a very dear friend who lives in GA.  If it's appropriate, would you mind sending this out?

Prayer needed for the Viars family. "Michael and Tara Viars are missionaries to Pakistan along with their 6 children. They recently relocated to northern India due to political climate in Pakistan. Yesterday, their 8-yr-old son Windle, fell while playing, resulting in abdominal pain and profuse blood in his urine. After a visit to ER, a mass was found on his kidney and they are making plans to return to U.S. asap. Please pray for this family, for Windle's healing, for their peace of mind, for funds to get them all home, for God's perfect provision in their time of need."

Thanks,
Susie

Please keep Wes's parents in your thoughts and prayers.  The following email is from Susie.
 
Thank you so much,

We received a call tonight from Wesley's mom, Bonita Davis.  His dad, Bob, was admitted to the hospital in Knoxville TN tonight.  Oddly enough, he has passed out numerous times over the past few weeks and tonight he didn't come around very well.  His blood pressure was high, he has been having trouble with it lately.  Sounds so much like Wesley's episode, sans the seizures! I'd like to ask for prayer for Bob and Bonita.  Thank you so much!

Hi,
 
Just wanted to update you on Rick. He is in Chas. Gen 311 South.  Adjusting some of his meds and helping him recover from a fall last week.  He has been dealing with extreme nausea. He was very weak because he could not eat/keep food in his stomach. The meds adjustment has improved his appetite and he has had no stomach upset since. He will be here for the next week or two while he literally gets back on his feet.  They hope to get him in the medical rehab unit here so that he will have easy access to the dialysis unit here at General. We are asking for prayer to affirm his continued recovery.
 
Love and hugs to you both,
Libby

Hello everyone, first let me thank you all for the cards, phone calls, hospital visits, prayers, and thoughts of healing light, during my illness. I am doing better and am glad to be alive, my work here is not finished. I wanted to give an update on the e bay progress. I have requested a check from paypal in the amount of $ 600.59 , which I will give to Peggy when it arrives. It was lots cheaper to request a check than to transfer this much money online. This money is from YOUR gracious donations, and I appreciate them very much, the donations help me help Unity. So keep them coming as well as the shipping supplies, ie: bubble wrap, shipping paper, etc. 
Thank You all, Wesley
The Universe will Provide, if we make an effort!
