Dear Family,

Way to go SRPC—over 1,000 pounds of food donated to the Family Resource Center. I’m proud of you.

Did you know Paul Carland (husband of SRPC children’s ministry director, Jean) is the Hernando County school board attorney and last week was named school board attorney of the year for the entire state of Florida!

Three babies to pray for: a) Amy Hartman had and emergency c-section Tuesday and gave birth to Jacob about 6 weeks premature. He is slated to be in the NICU at Winnie Palmer Hospital for the next couple of weeks. b) Taryn and Jayson Harvey are in Uganda and have a adopted a little girl named Kai. They are now working with the US Embassy to get the documentation to return home. C) Steve and Renee Reid are adopting a little boy named Drew from China. They are anxiously awaiting approval to travel there and adopt their son. Let’s pray hard for these three babies and their families!
