Please send up immediate prayers Mrs. Eva Camp and her family. I just spoke with Mary Kate. Mrs. Eva is in Wedowee Hospital in poor condition (in essence she is under hospice care). She is being given morphine to keep her comfortable. Today is her 96th birthday. Please pray for her to be comfortable and at peace.

Also, my little man (cousin) Thomas Musser has been given some more difficult news. His leukemia cells are not clearing his body as quickly as they would like. His remission is dragging. This is cause for concern, so they are probably going to have to go with a bone marrow transplant. (I wasn't sure who was a match for him) None of the family is a match, but they had always been told that it was relatively easy for a caucasian little boy to get a match so they weren't too concerned. Here's the kicker... Thomas has some sort of weird enzyme or something in his blood that has caused them to be unable to find a match. Can you believe that? They will try to use Ed or Lisa's (his parents - running tests soon to see who he matches best). Please pray for complete remission for this loved little man!

Congratulations to Ed and Melissa Barrett (Ed is Brenda Grant's nephew). Melissa gave birth to their son, James Edward at 9:45am on 06/24/09. He weighed 7lbs. 1 oz. Mother and baby are fine.

The 9th Annual Street Dance and Fireworks (formerly at Wedowee Citgo) will be July 5th at 7:00pm. The VENUE has been MOVED. It will be held at DP Oil at Foster's Crossroads, north of Wedowee. There will be live bands (Roger and Ryan) and food vendors. Come out and have fun!

Congratulations to Hannah Wortham and Luke Walker. They will be married on 08/08/09 at 11:00am. The Church in the Pines on Lake Martin. Hannah is the daughter of Eugene and Gail Wortham of Wedowee. Hugs to you!
