MUM needs Tutors

MUM (Memphis Urban Ministry), the organization that Drew and Charli interned for this summer, is needing some tutors once a week. They have tutors come on Tuesdays or Thursdays from 3:30-5:00. They are having a tutor training session this Thursday, Sept. 17th at 4:00 and it goes for one hour. The training session will be held at the Downtown Church of Christ building where the kids helped at this summer on their mission trips. I am going to the training session this Thursday, Sept. 17th, and I plan to try to tutor on Thursdays from 3:30-5:00. I thought you might could get the word out to our Bible class and maybe to Ginger and any others you can think of that might be able to help. They just need volunteers who can help these kids (elementary age) with their homework an hour and a half each week on either Tuesday or Thursday. Check your email for more information.

Prayer Requests for the week of 9/13/09

Requests:

Please remember Carol's friends:

Please add two very special people to your list for me:

1. Cindi Carey (I work with her husband, Dennie, and he’s having a hard time with this). Cindi has 3 tumors in her bladder and is having surgery next week. Dennie asks for all the prayers we can pray.

2. Pat Finan (my boss) has basal cell carcinoma. This is a reoccurrence from last year and this time they are going to have to take a large chunk from his nose area. This goes very close to the brain and eye ducts so several surgeons involved. Then the next day he will have to have plastic surgery to rebuild that portion of his face. He meets with surgeons next week and then it will be scheduled. I have the best boss in the world, so please pray that this will go smoothly.

Update on Emily:

The trip went well, it was very emotional and heart wrenching, but so glad I went. Something said has impacted her. I can tell by things she says in email. So please continue to pray for her soul.

Thank yall so much!!!
