Congratulations to our

2017 High School Graduate,

Weldon Buford, who will

graduate on this coming

Saturday, May 26, from Alvin

High School. Weldon is the

son of proud parents Jason

and Samantha Buford and

grandson of Mike and Jolene

Buford. Weldon plans to

enter the Marines or the Coast

Guard in the near future.

Those to remember in prayer…

Harold Anglin was moved on Friday to the Cozy

Corner personal care home in Alvin, under

hospice care. The family requests that there be

no visitors at this time.

Bill Pierpoint, who along with his wife Cheryl

placed membership recently, has begun a new

chemotherapy treatment for Stage 4 brain

cancer. He previously had surgery followed by

many months of chemotherapy, which was

working well for a time, but the most recent MRI

showed that the cancer is once again growing

and spreading. Bill began a brand new chemo

treatment on this past Thursday.

Linda Bynum underwent a lumpectomy,

Wednesday, to remove both tumors found in a

recent mammogram. Her surgery went very well

and tests on two lymph nodes showed no sign

of cancer cells. She will begin follow-up

radiation in about three weeks, but the doctors

believe she is now cancer free. Linda

appreciates everyone’s prayers on her behalf.

Bill Andrews continues to receive physical

therapy at the PAM Rehab Hospital in Clear

Lake, following his hospitalization last week due

to cellulitis in his left leg that had spread to his

blood stream. He is making very good progress

now and expects to be released this Tuesday.

Don McClesky, a former member, just received

test results that show that he is having a

reoccurrence of cancer, this time in the T3 and

T8 vertebrae in his back. He will be receiving

liquid radiation infusion shots once a month for

6 months. This treatment has a very high

success rate.

Rose Morris, Richard Morris’ mother was moved

to Kindred Hospital this past Tuesday due to an

infection in the bone. She is in Room 233 and

will be there for 6 or more weeks.

Mary White, Larry Thornhill’s sister, has made

some improvement in the past week, as she

continues to fight ovarian cancer and is at

home. Mary lives in Hillcrest Village behind the

Thornhills.

will be something to do for everyone.

PLEASE bring your grocery bags for VBS.

Please be sure they don’t have any holes

in them and have them in bundles of 20.

We are also in need of some small, plastic

Welcome

If you are visiting with us, we would like to

welcome you and get to know you better.

ages 7-12. Crayons are also located on this

table.

We also have an attended nursery for

infant through 3 years of age.

Arms of Hope

Medina Children’s home will be making a pick up

of clothing and lightly used household items in the

next week or so. Please bring any items you would

like to donate, as soon as possible, and place them

in the room that used to be the old nursery, next to

the electrical room.

Memorial Day Cook-out

We will be having a Memorial Day cookout,

May 29, here at the building. The main meal

will be provided, but we ask that you please

fellowship. There is a sign-up sheet on the

table in the foyer if you plan to attend.

Senior Day

our high school senior, Weldon Buford.

We will be having a fellowship meal

that everyone will plan to stay for this

meal, including all of our visitors.

slide presentation as well.

soon! There is a sign-up sheet in the

foyer if you would like to participate.

away Tuesday in Lubbock, TX. He also

asks that we remember in our prayers

the entire Sunset family who are all

grieving this loss.
