Health Matters
Rev. J. Allen Derrick, pastor at Edgemoor and Unions churches, had a heart catheterization yesterday at Piedmont Medical Center in Rock Hill, SC. Guy Smith reports that Derrick has not had major problems, but his doctors wanted to check a couple of things and establish a base line for him. We learned that one blockage was discovered. A stint was successfully put in place. Please pray for a good recovery.

Rev. Clyde McCants continues to make a slow recovery and tires easily. He is trying to resume his teaching and stated supply work at the White Oak Church. Please pray for renewed strength and continued guidance for his doctors.

Please pray for All in Our Family Editor Carolyn Beaudrot as she undergoes tests at Greenville Memorial Hospital for pain and nausea.

The office of Central Services at the ARP Center in Greenville, SC, is seeking an experienced, highly organized, highly motivated administrative assistant for a full-time position, beginning mid-to late May. Please contact Paul Bell at 864-232-8297 or pbell@arpsynod.orgfor more information.

Missionary Update
Missionary to Scotland Judy Buis asks that you pray on her behalf for alertness and diligence during two weeks of study in Ireland April 6-18. This course will certify her as a teacher/trainer in the European system. She will be riding with a co-worker and traveling by ferry from Troon, Scotland to Larne, Ireland. "I'm not too keen on being in the North Sea this time of year," she writes. "A heavy snow storm is forecast and winds can be strong." Pray for her safety.
Also pray that she will adjust to the differences in the pronunciation of vowels and accent placement. And that she will quickly learn the different terminology, colloquialisms and dialects.
