HE AIN’T HEAVY...

Here is the latest iteration of a wonderful old story...

In Iowa there was a storm that had flooded out a major city. People

were gathering their goods to save what they could. One of the policemen

saw a sight that touched his heart.

He saw a little boy carrying another little boy on his shoulders, all the

while still trying to carry goods and luggage and everything else thought to

be of value from their home.

The policeman went over to help the boy and said, “My, you’re trying

to do too much. You’ve got all these bags and then you’ve got that boy on

your shoulders. It’s too much weight for you. It’s too heavy.”

The little boy looked at the officer and said, “He ain’t heavy. He’s my

brother!”

When you know somebody is your brother, it makes it easier to bear

the weight and carry them to safety. “Therefore as you have opportunity, do

good to all men, especially to them that are of the household of

faith” (Galatians 6:10).

Those In Need of Our Prayers Bannie Burt has moved to Hillview Terrace Nursing Center (room 415) for Rehab. Please remember her 99th Birthday on Tuesday! Walter Colburn is back in Jackson Hospital Room 663 with Pneumonia. George Crapps had a successful Gallbladder removal on Friday and because it was done microscopically, he gets to recuperate at home. James Deason was admitted to Jackson Hospital on Friday with blood pressure issues. Dorothy Mosby was admitted in UAB Hospital last Monday where, it seems, the Rheumatologist and team have potentially diagnosed her problem as Stills Disease. They are treating her and she appears to be getting better. Please continue the prayers and they want their UCC family to know how they love you and are thankful for your outpouring of compassion toward them.

Last Sunday was very humbling in that the University church generously gave $23,175.76 for the victims of Hurricane Michael. This will be a blessing for many. Your Elders graciously thank you.

We rejoice with and want to welcome Stephen Williams into our UCC family. He was baptized Friday.

Today is Student Sunday! This is a day for our adopt-a-student families to get together! So, grab a meal, coffee or ice cream , spend time in prayer, etc. Just take the opportunity to be together.
