Update on Bill Sanders - 5/19
Anne posted this update: It was a long 2 days and nights but Bill’s surgery went well and we are already back home well under the predicted 36 hours. We’re tired so hope to get some uninterrupted rest....emphasis on uninterrupted ... with hospitals bring the busy places they are. He’s already planning things to do that he doesn’t need to do yet. I’ll try my best to keep a thumb on him for at least a week. Wish me luck on that one!

Update on Bill Sanders 5/18
Bill is in recovery waiting for a room. We’ll spend tonight in the hospital and hopefully be coming back to Paris tomorrow sometime. Have not spoken with his doctor yet but I’m expecting a good report. All the prayers have been heard and felt by us. Please continue them as he recovers. God is good.
To wear or not to wear???
We know there has been some confusion since our May 2 meeting at the pavilion when we stated masks were optional because we were outside. Some have thought that direction would extend to our indoor meetings as well. In light of the current situation and declining number of cases we are seeing, the elders have decided to transition to a Mask optional policy.
While masks are still recommended for those who are unvaccinated or otherwise without immunity in large indoor gatherings, we are leaving it up to individuals to make the decision of whether or not to wear a mask based on their immunity status and vulnerability. Out of our concern for those who are more vulnerable, for now we will continue to have roped off pews and ask that people continue to distance themselves between family groups.
We thank God that things are looking better and that we can progress to this point that will hopefully allow more of you to return to our assemblies. Again, if you feel unsafe or have significant concerns we urge you to continue wearing your mask and/or taking whatever steps you need to take in order to sufficiently protect yourself.
-Your elders

Update on Wayne Kerby - 5/10
Becky just sent this message: Dr. Hill says he sees NO reason to stay in the hospital. He's answered all their questions and is ok with Dr. Hashmi being Wayne's Dr. after one more office visit. He is not not concerned about a stress test and said unless Dr. Hashmi wants one at a later time, no need for one.
So...barring any further surprises, we will be headed to Paris soon!!
WoooHOOOO!!!!
PRAISE THE LORD!!!!

Houser Services
The family of Johnny Houser celebrates his life, which ended peacefully in his home at the age of 98 with his children at his side.
Johnny served his country during WWII in the U.S. Navy from December 1942 until April 1946. He married his Pat in November 1949 and they had two children, Patti and Chris. The family moved to Tampa, Florida, in 1956, where Johnny began a successful 30 plus year career as a salesman for a national food company. In January 1957, Johnny recommitted his Christian life when he was baptized into the Church of Christ. He raised his children in the church, and later served as an elder at Manhattan Avenue Church of Christ. In 1987, Johnny and Pat moved to Paris, Texas where they became members of Lamar Avenue Church of Christ and regularly attended for many years. They remained sweethearts throughout their more than 65 years of marriage.
Johnny had a wonderful life that was filled with a passionate unconditional love for his wife, children, family, the Lord and his lifelong friends. While being protective, he continually demonstrated love for his family through actions, encouragement and verbal affirmations to them. He was a welcoming, outgoing, fun-loving, supportive and generous man, who placed the happiness and love for his family in front of his desires.
Through Jesus, Johnny’s sight has returned, his hearing is back and he is walking upright again. No more pain or suffering. In time for Mother’s Day, he is now reunited not only with Pat, but also with his Mama who died in December 1941 when he was 18 years old.
Johnny was preceded in death by his loving wife, Pat.
He is survived by daughter, Patti and husband, Dr. Craig Johnson of Tulsa, Oklahoma; son, Chris and wife, Tammy of Mansfield, Texas; four grandchildren; as well as three great-grandchildren.
The funeral will be Wednesday, May 12, at 2 p.m., at the Roden-Pryor Chapel. A concluding service with a U.S. Navy Honor Guard flag ceremony follows at Mount Olivet Cemetery, Hugo, Oklahoma.
