Prayer Request

I just received word that a former member of Hollydale, Barbara Toth, has passed away.  Those that remember Barbara know she moved to Florida to be close to her son and family a few years ago.  She had a rare type of blood cancer and was just diagnosed in September.  Prayers for Barbara’s family as they grieve the loss of this beautiful lady.  If I receive any additional information, I will pass it along.  Thank you.

Update on Karen Berta

Update and continued prayers for Karen Berta. Karen has improved and moved to the Powder Springs Center for nursing and healing on Powder Springs Road. She is able

to have visitors. Her son Adam is working on having her moved to an assisted living in Raleigh NC which is closer to where he lives but the process is long and expensive. Please continue to keep Karen in your prayers as she is working on her strength to possibly walk again and won’t be able to return to her apartment where she lived alone. Prayers for her family as well as they work through all the process to find the right care facility for Karen. Thank you.

Update on Ruth Davenport

/

Gail Black received an update from Ruth Davenport’s sister and wanted to share with those who know Ruth.  Below is the message from Louise, Ruth’s sister.  Please keep Ruth in your prayers as she travels this journey of memory loss and Louise for recovery from her fall and injury to her hip. 

 

Ruth seems to stay about the same.  Usually when I visit, she talks continuously but it’s just words, not anything that makes sense.  So sad.  Just can’t imagine what garbles the brain.  She seems content.  I am recovering from a fall with a broken hip.  I am doing very well and I go see Ruth every week.  She still knows me and occasionally I hear her say Tip.  I hope all of you Marietta friends are well.

Backpack Blessings Support Needed

/

Hollydale’s Backpack Blessings Ministry will be starting back in September and we need your support in continuing to serve the children at Hollydale Elementary. This is a vital ministry for the children who struggle with not having meals over the weekends during the school year.  We purchase the food through the donations we receive and last school year we served 159 children every week throughout the school year.  We need volunteers to help pack the bags on Thursday and to deliver them on Friday around 11am.  These tasks only take a couple hours each out of your day.  We will have a brief meeting on September 8th following our worship service for those interested in volunteering.  We’ve supported Hollydale Elementary School for several years and want to continue to help those children in need.  Please plan to stay for the meeting on the 8th to find how you can help!
