TEACHING

April 20:  EASTER:  Easter is this Sunday and we’re diving into a part of the story that may surprise you. Thomas followed Jesus, saw miracles, heard the teaching…and still doubted. Sound familiar? This Easter, come see how doubt doesn’t disqualify you - it might just be part of the journey.  The tomb is empty. Hope is alive. Let’s celebrate together:

Join us in-Person at 9:00am (acapella) or 11:15AM (instrumental) or Livestream at YouTube.com/Clearcreekcoc or clearcreek.online.church.

Perry Hodges had cornea transplant surgery on April 15.  Surgery went well, the doctor was able to leave the very bottom layer of Perry's own cornea, making the chance of rejection much lower.

Kaye Mitchell had surgery this morning to remove a cancerous mass in her abdomen, surgery went well and she is in recovery.

Loni Cypher, niece of Leonard Frey, lives in Texas and has been diagnosed with metastatic melanoma.  She was transferred to MD Anderson in Houston for care.  She got really good scan results, there is a significant reduction of the melanoma.  It has not spread, only reduced.  She will continue treatment in Dallas and go back to Houston for scans again.
