Jim Hafling, uncle of Sondra Carmen, had surgery yesterday for sarcoma cancer of the palette. Surgeons feel confident they removed all of the cancerous tumor along with four teeth. Jim will be in ICU for seven days. He was able to briefly speak to family post op. Praise to the Lord for answering pray and thanks for continued prayers as Jim has a long recovery ahead.

Marina “Skeeter” Gore, wife of Willard Gore, remains in ICU at Centennial Medical Center. The family requests special prayer.

Glenda Johnson remains at NHC for therapy. Cards can be sent to NHC Room 406, 813 S Walnut, Cookeville, TN 38501.

Continue in prayer for Asher, Morgan, Archie and Phineas Palomo. Donations to help with expenses can be given to the church office or ministers.

Thank you for prayers, cards and phone calls during my time of surgery and recovery. Please continue praying. Thank you, Fred Vaughn.

Sycamore School Supply Drive: As an adopter of Sycamore Elementary School, JACOC, along with Sycamore church of Christ, provides school supplies for all students at the school. This year, we will be providing supplies for 2nd, 3rd & 4th grades and a Special Education class. Cash donations are used to purchase these supplies. You may make checks payable to the church with “school supplies” written in the memo & drop by the church office or give to Jane Foy now through the end of July. Thank you so much for your support of this project each year!
