Don’t drive after dark any
more?
Maybe don’t drive at all any
more?
Need a
ride to an evening worship
service or some other meeting?
Call the church office, and we’ll
make every effort to provide
transportation for you.
Attention!
those who are still o.k. driving
after dark:
would you be willing to be
available to bring someone to a meeting
or worship service as needed?
Please call the church office to
be added to our “caring
taxi service”.
This is a very real ministry you
can perform for those who would
otherwise be left out of some of our
church’s events and activities.
Buddy System
We highly recommend a Buddy System
program for our members who live alone.
The program would work by having
one person call another person every day
at a specific time, which time will be
set up between those two individuals.
FROM THE FLOCK
Each month the Congregational Care
Ministry Team will spotlight members of
our congregation. These individuals, who
are designated
“Flock-persons of the Month,”
have been nominated by their Shepherds
for this honor.
This month, Charlie
and Betty Moore have been selected.
After graduating from Young Harris
College, Charlie served in U.S.
Naval Aviation in WWII. When the war
ended, he earned a BS Degree in Business
from the University of South Carolina
and worked for many years as an
accountant in the Atlanta area. Auditing
took him to many cities across the
country. Betty attended William Woods
College in Fulton, Missouri, and later
graduated with a BS Degree in Education
from Huntington College, Indiana. She
taught high school history for many
years in Kentucky, Indiana, and
Wisconsin. Betty and Charlie met here in
the mountains and have now been married
nine years. Between them they have seven
children and eleven grandchildren
scattered from San Francisco,
California, to Wilmington, North
Carolina. They both enjoy music,
genealogy, and gardening. Charlie does
oil paintings, and Betty does
handweaving. Reading and Birdwatching
fill in the corners of time.
JULIE MILLICAN RN
Sprain or break? How do you know? The average person
has two broken bones or fractures during
a lifetime! Much of this depends on
their age and general state of health.
Symptoms of a fracture are swelling or
bruising over a bone, deformity of an
arm or leg, pain in the area that
worsens when the area is moved or when
pressure is applied and loss of function
in the area. The only way to diagnose a
fracture is by an xray (unless the bone
is protruding from the skin called a
compound fracture).
You can also have a fractured skull, which needs
immediate attention. Usually this is
caused by a fall or a blow to the head.
Any bone in the body can be broken.
Depending on the area affected,
different types of treatments are
utilized to heal the bone.
A muscle strain occurs when a tendon (which attaches
muscle to bone) is stretched or torn. A
muscle sprain is when a ligament (which
stabilizes the joints) is stretched or
torn. Sprains cause pain at the injury
and swelling. Bruising (which is
bleeding) may take time to be noticed.
The body tries to protect the injured
part by inhibiting movement such as by
limping. Numbness or tingling can be a
sign of nerve involvement. Pain may
increase in the first few days but if
there is any question of a break you
should seek medical attention.
Applying ice to the initial injury will keep down the
swelling and bleeding and help with the
pain. Elevate the injured area when
possible and don’t further injure it by
using the part. Sprain or break? If it’s
bad enough to make you ask the question
than it’s bad enough to seek medical
attention.
Rejoice in hope; be patient in affliction; be
persistent in prayer.
