Our beloved Judy Walker fell while she was working at the church on Thursday. She was transported to the hospital and had a broken hip, which required surgery Friday morning. She is resting comfortably and will be hospitalized through the weekend. Plans for her rehab have not yet been determined. Kim arrived this morning to be with her Mom. Please pray for God’s healing, guidance and peace for both Judy and Kim.
