01/03/10 - Prayer request from Martha Knichel, PW Synod Rep:  "My husband's sister, Susan
Taylor, was in a terrible head on collision on Saturday, December 26.  She had to be airlifted to the
"Med" in Memphis.  The Med is a trauma center and she remains in the Trauma ICU.  She has had
three surgeries since arriving at the hospital and is still in very critical condition.  We are asking for
prayers.  We saw her today and she is just beginning to show some small improvement.  She will
have many more surgeries before all is corrected.  Thank God, there were no head injuries."

I need to remind Moderators about the 10 items for the Market at the Synod Gathering  in June
2010.  This new "Post It"  would be a great way to remind them.  Have a great day.  Thank you.

Hi Gals,
We had our Spiritual Growth Retreat this past weekend.  We invited Rabbi Brent Feidler
(Messianic) and some from his congregation.  They led Praise and Worship (and he even blew the
shofar) and spoke to us throughout the weekend on the Fall Feasts from Leviticus 23; Rosh
Hashana (Feasts of Trumpets), Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) and Sukkoth (Feast of
Tabernacles).  It was educational and inspiring.  I believe everyone left feeling that they could now
connect Jesus to the Old Testament with much more ease.   We took the "necklace" tradition to the
Fall Gathering and the Retreat and have collected $285.00 for one of our local ministries, Sunset
Gap.                                                                  Jackie Riddle, Holston Presbytery (09/28/09)

"DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT!"
East Tennessee is taking a 'twist on the "usual" this fall by having three Fall Cluster Gatherings
geared to the topography of presbytery. Less driving, programs planned by each Cluster and
planned by the PW in that area.  All three plan variations on the theme of the Churchwide Gathering
that God will do and is doing wonders with us as women.  One cluster has developed the theme
"God will do wonders among us... Be a wonder woman... No cape needed!"  the Gathering will
include a labyrinth opportunity, overview of our Joshua Bible Study, a time to talk with officers,
chairman and other women with the same responsibilities to share and the sharing of Communion.
