Our stories are us! What has happened to us… what we have chosen to happen to us… is us! Our faith journey is no different. Let’s hear some of those this morning and let them remind you of your own. What events have moved you along your spiritual path?
By Hallie Moore and friends
With music by M Street
At some point, most of us will deal with vision changes—so let’s talk about it. What can you expect as eyesight declines? What procedures are available? And just as important…what happens when things don’t go exactly as planned?
Chris Mair-Miley and James Middleton will share their personal experiences with eye procedures, and we invite you to bring your own stories, questions, and curiosity. Hearing real-life experiences can make all the difference—and maybe even ease some anxiety about what lies ahead.
Also, don’t forget: deadtable.com offers fillable Texas documents designed to spare your loved ones stress and uncertainty. Take a little time now to get your paperwork in order—we’ll even schedule a Dead Table Notary Sunday to help finalize everything. (All documents will need notarization.)
Have specific needs or questions? Please share them. For more information, contact Mark Holt. The DEAD TABLE meets every third Sunday at 12:15 PM in the Garden Room and on Zoom. All are welcome.
