Dear Frontline family,
Yesterday was Compassion Sunday. We still have a few unsponsored children. You can pick up an info packet this Sunday or go to http://www.compassion.com to sponsor a child. You can literally change the world one life at a time for about a dollar a day. The Schneemann family's Compassion child wrote, "I bought a pencil and 3 times I wrote your name, and I never forget it. I love Jesus. This ink will erase and this paper will tear, but your memory will be in me." Not only will sponsoring a child change the life a young person in need, it will change your life, too.
Frontliner Carol MacLeod has a special art exhibition at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital from now until November 24. For details, visit http://www.createdbycarol.com/news.htm.
Frontliner Sunny Smith is looking for a new and exciting job. The majority of her previous jobs have been clerical/administrative support types. She is very skilled in this type of position, and while she would perhaps still like to work in a support type environment, she also wants something that has to do with helping and serving others. She's looking for a job that will keep her very busy, challenged, and around many encouraging people. If you have any questions or thoughts, you can call her at (586) 747-2541 or email her at sunnydecho@gmail.com.
Please continue to keep Rachel Schneemann (and her roommate Micah) in your prayers. Cleveland Clinic looks increasingly likely as a next-step in order to get specialized treatment of her uncommon condition. The Schneemanns wish to continue to express thanks for the prayers, e-mails, love, gifts, visits, and support.
