Treva Bardonner

I try to visit many of the "older" folks in our church family each week. Many times I learn that they are getting along quite well. Sometimes, however, I find out they are having surgery, just had an accident, are moving to a more suitable home...etc. Well, I love to visit Treva Bardonner. She is a lifelong member of NPUMC and loves the Lord. No matter what else is going on in the world, she is always positive and wonderful. She makes ME feel better just talking to her. This visit she was a bit troubled. She has Vertigo (dizziness) and has had it for some time. It affects her most when she walks which may mean falling. Naturally, I am concerned for her and will continue to pray for her as I hope you will too. She has been to the doctor and has exercises to do for therapy but so far she has no relief.
When I left her, she was preparing to go pick someone up to drive to Greenfield. Please send her a card, give her a call, but definitely pray for her healing and her safety.

Dale Groschelle

Today we hold a service of celebration for the life of our friend and brother in Christ, Dale Groschelle. Dale lived a full and rewarding life in his 70+ years on Earth. He was a wonderful worker for our church and an excellent craftsman who did much of the laminate work in all the new sections of our CMC. He had a workshop "like no other" in his garage and had a wonderful array of tools that he was willing to share with his good friends...especially his next-door-neighbor Grant Hampton.
Dale will be remembered in part for his generosity, his sense of humor, his love of family, and for his craftsmanship. His wife of 30 years, Carloyn, will miss him and so will his New Palestine United Methodist Family.
Please pray for healing in his family as they mourn his loss.
