Update and continued prayers for Karen Berta. Karen has improved and moved to the Powder Springs Center for nursing and healing on Powder Springs Road. She is able
to have visitors. Her son Adam is working on having her moved to an assisted living in Raleigh NC which is closer to where he lives but the process is long and expensive. Please continue to keep Karen in your prayers as she is working on her strength to possibly walk again and won’t be able to return to her apartment where she lived alone. Prayers for her family as well as they work through all the process to find the right care facility for Karen. Thank you.

Prayers for Karen’s family as well. Thank you.
Gail Black received an update from Ruth Davenport’s sister and wanted to share with those who know Ruth. Below is the message from Louise, Ruth’s sister. Please keep Ruth in your prayers as she travels this journey of memory loss and Louise for recovery from her fall and injury to her hip.
Ruth seems to stay about the same. Usually when I visit, she talks continuously but it’s just words, not anything that makes sense. So sad. Just can’t imagine what garbles the brain. She seems content. I am recovering from a fall with a broken hip. I am doing very well and I go see Ruth every week. She still knows me and occasionally I hear her say Tip. I hope all of you Marietta friends are well.
Please keep Karen Berta in your prayers. Karen was admitted to Cobb Wellstar Hospital and is undergoing some tests. She is having severe difficulty in moving her legs and can’t walk.

Thank you.

Hollydale’s Backpack Blessings Ministry will be starting back in September and we need your support in continuing to serve the children at Hollydale Elementary. This is a vital ministry for the children who struggle with not having meals over the weekends during the school year. We purchase the food through the donations we receive and last school year we served 159 children every week throughout the school year. We need volunteers to help pack the bags on Thursday and to deliver them on Friday around 11am. These tasks only take a couple hours each out of your day. We will have a brief meeting on September 8th following our worship service for those interested in volunteering. We’ve supported Hollydale Elementary School for several years and want to continue to help those children in need. Please plan to stay for the meeting on the 8th to find how you can help!
Good afternoon Hollydale Family,
I received the email below from Marsi Arcaro(Toni Cox’s daughter) requesting prayer for her health concerns and pending answers to them. Please keep Marsi and her family in your prayers as they go through this journey and answers bringing good results. Thank you.
Hi Susan, I would love if the community could lift me up in prayer. I went in for an MRI for my shoulder and they discovered that I have an enlarged thyroid with several nodules. They then referred me for an ultrasound. They now say that based on the ultrasound, I need to have 2 of the nodules biopsied. I am getting the run around with doctors. They are saying I now need to see an ENT and the earliest I can get in is September. Please pray that I can be seen sooner and get good results. Thanks so much! Marsi Arcaro

Please keep my family friend Cortland Simons in your prayers. Cortland is 39 years old and has been going through a lot of struggles and changes in the last several months, some good, some not so good. He’s battled with depression and alcoholism and has now been sober since September 2023 (Praise God!), he’s been dealing with personal health issues, he has two sons with one being an autistic teenage who requires special care 24/7 and his wife walked out on her family and filed for divorce. Their divorce was final on Monday. He is struggling and needs our prayers and encouragement. God has this and will bring Cortland to the other side where he will find the balance he needs in his life, hopefully feel some stress relief as time moves forward and happiness again. In God’s time. We ask for your prayers and if you would like to send him a note or card of encouragement, his address is below. Thank you.
