Prayer Concerns
April 23 will be
United Methodist
Women Sunday!
Our speaker will be
Jenny Sorey from PATH, Partners
Against Trafficking Humans. We are
inviting women (and men) from other
United Methodist Churches to attend
Goddard that Sunday. Won’t you invite
your friends, family, and neighbors?
Jenny is an enthusiastic, dedicated and
knowledgeable person who is working to
help solve this growing problem in our
state. We are asking that you bring
items to share with the victims of human
trafficking. Items needed are combs,
brushes, toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap,
and other hygiene products.
This is another way our Goddard Family
can show God’s love and help others!
Inside-Out. We can make a
difference!

The Community Rescue Mission
The Community Rescue Mission, located at 4th and F Street, phone 479-782-1443, partners with area churches to meet spiritual and physical needs by providing meals, a place to stay, and church services. Last year, 1,147 clients checked in for 16,273 nights of shelter and 43,354 meals were served. Until I became associated with the Mission, I was not aware of the extent of the need in our community. Please be in prayer for the homeless and those that work to help them.
Thanks,

News from our Goddard Food Pantry Ministry
We are thankful for Mike Lyons, Mike Mankin and Dick
Taylor for helping our Goddard Food Pantry Ministry by
picking up food and stocking our pantry each Tuesday. We need your help to
form a 2nd pickup and stocking team. We need someone who has a truck to
drive to the Food Bank on Tuesday morning and to CV’s Family Food Store on
Tuesday afternoon to pickup our food orders and bring the food back to our church.
We also need another person to help unload the food. If you are willing to help in
this ministry, please call the church office (785-1415). Thank you.
Words of Thanks…
Goddard Family,
We wanted to thank everyone for the blue carnation
and the beautiful “lovie blanket” for James Augustus
Holton. We are go very blessed.
Thanks again, Tammy & Jay
Dear Goddard Family,
You have been a blessing to our family not only by
what you have done, but also by the special way you
expressed God’s love. Thank you for your prayers, cards,
calls and kind words.
With grateful hearts,
Jerry, Elizabeth & Family

GriefShare is serving two regular attending participants during this session. The videos are so helpful in showing us each emotion or new experience is normal in the grieving process. Often, well intended people can say something so inappropriate or hurtful at a very tender place in our healing process. We have also learned how to handle trigger points or things that can set off tears of emotion. I encourage you to give GriefShare a t r y . O p e n t o e v e r y o n e . Tuesday Evenings at 6:30 pm in the Susan C. King classroom. Share a smile!

April observes National Parkinson's Aware-
ness Month. According to the American Parkin-
son Disease Association, more than 1 million
people in the U.S. and more than 10 million
people worldwide are affected by Parkinson's.
The average age of onset is sixty, but may occur
in younger people. Parkinson's disease is a brain
disorder that progresses slowly, with symptoms
taking years to develop in most cases. In short, a
person's brain slowly stops producing dopamine,
a chemical which relays messages within the
brain to control movement of the body. With less
and less dopamine, a person has less and less
ability to regulate their movements, body and
emotions.
The motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease
appears when about 60-80% of the dopamine
producing cells are damaged. While symptoms
are unique to each person, knowing typical
stages helps one cope with changes as they
occur.
In the first stage, mild symptoms occur that do
not generally interfere with daily activities. Tremor
and other movement symptoms only appear on
one side of the body. Changes in posture, walk-
ing and facial expressions may be noticed.
In the second stage, the symptoms start getting
worse. Tremor, rigidity, and other movement
symptoms affect both sides of the body. Walking
problems and poor posture may become appar-
ent, but the person is still able to live alone.
The third stage is mid-stage in progression with
loss of balance and slowness in movements oc-
curring. The person is still fully independent, but
the symptoms impair activities of daily living.
In the fourth stage, symptoms become severe
and very limiting, making help with activities
necessary and becoming unable to live alone.
The fifth stage is the most advanced and debili-
tating stage. Stiffness in legs make it impossible
to stand or walk. The person requires a wheel
chair or is bedridden. Hallucinations and
delusions may occur.
Although there is no treatment that slows
progression, symptoms can be managed. Treat-
ment is highly individualized for each person.
Several classes of medications are available for
symptomatic therapy.
Deep brain stimulation is a surgical treatment
approved by the FDA. This involves implanting
an electrode into the brain on one or both sides
of the brain as needed. The electrode is con-
nected to a pacemaker-like device placed under
the skin in the chest.
Patients are encouraged to participate in an
exercise program including fitness training,
strengthening, flexibility, and gait and balance
training to help with mobility.
