I'm totally convicted that I obviously have not been doing a good job of keeping this updated!
Here are some updates you need to know!!!
Friday night there is a Valentines dinner in the fellowship hall to benefit Pennies for Bella. Tickets are available for a suggested donation of $10 each. Childcare is available. If you are interested in coming, but do not have a ticket, please e-mail Sonya at caskeyfam@comcast.net. Dinners can also be taken as "take-out" if you cannot stay and eat.
Don't forget we have two services now! The first service starts at 8:45. Please park in the BACK lot if you are coming to this service.
There will be a yard sale to benefit Pennie for Bella on Saturday Feb. 28th. It will be a .50 sale, meaning EVERYTHING will be .50. Yes, everything! We are hoping to draw lots of people to the sale to bring awareness to Bella's story, and also hoping that the amazing pricing will help people be generous at the donation container. You can help in several ways. First, donations can be brought to the church whenever the doors are open. Nothing needs to be priced. Second, we need help Friday night the 27th loading up the truck to take things to the Clendenny's and also Saturday morning (early) to set up. Oh, and help at the sale itself. Third, and this one you can all do, tell EVERYONE you know about the sale.
No men's prayer meeting this Friday night because of the Valentine's dinner.
Titus Two this month will focus on how to study your Bible. All ladies are invited on Sunday afternoon, February 22nd, at 2 PM for a short but informative class on the basics of Bible study. We will go over some things like what's up with all those different versions of the Bible, online Bible study resources, how to go from reading the Bible to really digging deeper for greater understanding, and covering what dictionaries, concordances, etc. are and how you can use them. (If there is interest, we may follow up next month with a class about how to do Greek word studies.) We will also have time for fellowship and everyone is invited to bring a dessert or snack to share.

Bone Marrow Drive For Isabella Clendenny
Bone Marrow Drive
For Isabella Clendenny
November 22nd from 10am to noon
at St. Matthews Episcopal Church
5873 North Dean Road
Orlando, FL 32817
Would you be willing to give a quick cheek swab to see if you could save a life?
That is all it takes to see if you are a match for someone in need of bone
marrow transplant. Isabella was recently diagnosed with a rare genetic
disorder known as Hurlers Disease and she needs a bone marrow transplant.
When a transplant is needed doctors turn to the national bone marrow
registry. Unfortunately, this list is very short, often making it hard to find a
match. Many people do not sign up because they fear that the procedure will
be painful but with new technology this is not the case. Please consider
donating. You really could save a life!!!!
For more information please send an email to bellabonemarrow@yahoo.com.
Testing Kits are being supplied by Kids Beating Cancer. Donations towards the cost
of testing are very much appreciated.

The first part involves an injection into a vein and a scan of the kidneys. After the scan a measurement will be done on the computer which is a number that compares the amount of kidney function in the right and left kidneys. The 2nd part of the GFR test involves 4 blood draws, which can be taken from a central line. This test takes about 4 hours in total. No caffeine prior to the GFR test.
