Greetings Cascade Family and Friends,

First, let me say THANK YOU to all who contributed to our wonderful, spirit-filled, 90 th Anniversary Celebration.  Both services ushered in the presence of God, and we were blessed tremendously by Bishop James Swanson, Sr. as he allowed the Holy Spirit to guide his sermons.  As a result, we received two different, very powerful messages.  TGBTG!

I also want to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU to another special group of servants who played a major role in saving a life while we worshipped on Sunday.  Brother John Guillory, a member, has given me permission to share his name as the latest person to be blessed by the quick and professional response of our Emergency Care Team (ECT ).  Brother Guillory began to experience an intense discomfort and he was immediately directed to the care of the ECT.  After a brief, yet thorough, examination by the ECT team, they recommended he be transported to the hospital for further treatment.   

As they were preparing to call an ambulance, George Johnson, another faithful member of Cascade, volunteered to transport Mr. Guillory to the ER.  Brother John shared with me that the attending physician told him that he was blessed to have had all the right things happen from the moment he experienced distress, to the time he got to the hospital. Though John was admitted for tests and observation overnight, when I spoke with him Monday afternoon, he was preparing to go home.  Mr. Guillory credits his great outcome to the prompt, caring, professional response of our ECT and thoughtful "neighbor," George Johnson. Cascade, God has blessed us with many resources and exceptional gifts.  I want to make certain that you know that among those gifts from God is our ECT .

Thank you members of ECT for your commitment to "saving" lives.  Just know that you are very much appreciated.

Blessings,

Pastor Lawrence L. Young
