prayer request


Begin forwarded message:

From: Rebecca Talley <rdtalley@arcomky.com>
Subject: prayer request
Date: February 25, 2012 12:27:11 AM EST
To: Jeff Fuson <jeff@ph-church.org>

I would like to ask for prayers for two people.

1) my mother, Anna Martin, has had some test results that are troubling.  She fell down a flight of steps a few weeks ago and knocked herself unconscious.  Being the typical supermom that she is she, once she woke up she simply got up off the floor, wiped herself off and probably made dinner for my dad afterwards!  She refused to go to the hospital saying she would just watch for blurred vision and have my dad wake her up every couple of hours that night.  Anyway, she has had a headache ever since!  She mentioned this to her doctor at a routine appointment recently and he sent her for tests.  Well, after having an MRI and an MRA it has been determined that she has a small aneurism in the area of the injury PLUS her carotid arteries have blockage!  She has been referred to a neurosurgeon and a vascular specialist.  Once again she is supermom and says it's not a big deal that it's just part of getting old (she's 67).  We are waiting for appointments with specialists now to see what all this means and if both issues are simply a "keep an eye on things sitution" like she thinks or something more.  If my Phos family would please pray that my supermom is not in dire straits I would certainly appreciate it.  I am an unashamed momma's girl and the thought of my momma losing her superpowers is frightening.

2) Gracie's friend from school (we call her KK), is a 9-year-old firecracker!  She has been having headaches for a few weeks now with no known source.  She will be having an MRI this coming Monday to see if anything shows up.  Her momma asked that I have Phos add her to their prayers for a normal MRI reading.  

I have no idea what my life would look like any longer without my Phos family and friends,

Much Love,

Becka Talley

SNOWTUBING CANCELLED / LASERTAG ON

Hi to all!

Snowtubing is cancelled for tomorrow because Perfect North has stated that the tubing lanes will be slow and not good snow at all. So... plans have changed.

ALL (not just teens) are invited to join Phos at 4 PM at Laser Blaze at 4121 Shelbyville Road, Louisville, 40207. Meet us there at 4 PM to play! We will all play two games of laser tag together and then head from there to Old Chicago Pizza (in Springhurst on Westport Road) for dinner after laser tag. We will be finished at Old Chicago by 8 PM for pick up.

BRING $25 (to cover two laser tag games is $13, which leaves $ for dinner) and your friends!

See you then! Thanks for understanding the change up... hopefully we'll be back to snowtubing next winter!

Anger: Handle with Care  

Do find yourself over-reacting to little irritations? Your spouse forgot the milk. Your child tracked mud on the new carpet, and you explode. There is a good chance that you are suffering from stored anger. Anger that has been living inside of you for years. Your parents hurt you with harsh words or severe punishment. Your peers made fun of you as a teenager. Your boss treated you unfairly.

You've held all of these hurts inside and now your stored anger is showing up in your behavior. The bible says,  "Don't let the sun go down on your anger." In my book entitled Anger, I talk about getting rid of stored anger in more detail, but here's a few helpful insights that could help you handle this powerful emotion.

Discover the Symptoms
One of the common problems I encounter in the counseling office is people who are eaten up with anger. They have been deeply hurt by others. In an effort to be good Christians, they have held their anger inside. They didn't want to explode or be unkind, so they said nothing. Anger held inside leads to bitterness, hatred, and often depression.

Many people have no idea why they are cranky, critical, and condemning. They make life hard on others and hard on themselves. Almost always, these people are filled with anger. Everything they encounter seems wrong. They read into the present what has happened to them in the past. They were hurt by parents, siblings, and others. The hurt turned to anger and the anger to a critical attitude.

Release it to God
If you have internalized your anger for a long time, it's time to release it to God. Tell God how much you have been hurt. Then, release the person and your anger to God. He is a just and loving God. If the person repents, God will forgive. If they do not, God will punish them. When you release people to God, you put them in good hands.

Confront in Love
When we are mistreated we need to lovingly confront the person who hurt us and seek reconciliation. Don't sit around the rest of your life letting anger control your life. Make one more effort in seeking reconciliation. The first step in getting rid of anger is to make a list of all the people who have hurt you through the years and then release these people and your anger to God. Then, go to the person and tell them that you would like to 'make things right'.

update on food situation

I just wanted to let everyone know that we are set for the food at the visitation, so thank you all that have volunteered.

For the funeral however, we are anticipatiing a large crowd and are going to need a lot of food, so if you are willing to bring something then, that would be great. Hearty sides in a pretty good size quantity would be fantastic!

Thanks,

Meredith

Kid's Area Renovation this coming week at PCC. Give a night or two and make a HUGE difference!

Blow em Down and Build Em Back for the Children of Phos!

Let's dive in and renovate the children's area at Phos next week!  

Our Mission:  Tear down the walls in the existing children's space and put the new walls where they go and get the whole space back to dry wall and readied for Sunday, March 4th.  I know that's a lot to do, but many hands make light work.

Please consider volunteering during one or two of these blocks of time and we should get it done just fine!  

Wednesday Feb 29 5 to 9  Dinner and Childcare available for workers

Thursday March 1 5 to 9 Dinner and Childcare available for workers

Friday March 2 5 to 9 Dinner and Childcare available for workers

Saturday  10 to ?? Drywall Hung and rooms reset for our first Sunday with Two Services!     Lunch, Snacks and Childcare available for workers

This is a great way to make a vital investment in the eternities of the children of PCC and our community.  It's also a great way to build friendships.  

Hope you'll choose to join us in making great for the kids of Phos!

Peace,
Jeff

Serving the Arvin Family in the coming days

Hello Phos Family,

I know that we are all saddened by the news of Bonnie Arvin's death.  Such an incredible woman with an amazing heart for "Christ".  I hope to have her same spirit one day and I know we will always remember her and the example she has set for us all.  

 Many of you have been asking how you can help serve the Arvin family in the coming days.  I have a few options for you and I wanted to let you know, how you can serve them best:

1.  The visitation is on Sunday from 2:30 to 5:00 at 4200.  During that time Phos will be providing a meat tray with all of the fixings for the family.   We would also like to ask many of you to step up and bring some snacky foods to go along with that.  We for sure will need a nice size vegetable tray, a fruit tray/bowl, a couple desserts, chips... and then any other finger food type things you can think of.   If you would like to help with the visitation food, please email me - Meredith@phoschurch.com and let me know what you would like to bring.  

2. The Funeral is Monday at 10:30 at 4200.    Phos will be providing a meal after for close friends and family in the cafe area at 4200.  We will be ordering chicken and would like for all of you to help out by bringing side dishes.  Please email and let me know that you are interested and what you might bring so that we don't have 25 kinds of potatoes, although we will need some :).    Also, just a note that Mike is vegan and they generally like to eat pretty healthy so a couple of vegan friendly dishes might be nice.  Please email me if you would like to help with the food for the Funeral -Meredith@phoschurch.com.  I will be making some all natural spaghetti sauce with veggies and whole wheat pasta to act as a main dish for Mike.  

3.  Following the funeral the family is not interested in having meals brought to the home, but if you would still like to do something for them, restaurant gift cards for meals out would be nice.   You can give those to me as you get them, maybe with a card and I will make sure Bob receives them.  

4.  In lieu of flowers the family is asking that donations be made to Phos Community Church on Bonnie's behalf.  Donations may be sent to 4200 Centerfield Dr., Crestwood, KY  40014..  

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask, and remember to email me back - Meredith@phoschurch.com - with what you would like to bring either to the visitation and/or the funeral.

In loving memory of Mrs. Bonnie Arvin,

Meredith Lewis
