Stahlke Adoption

Another Prayer Concern

Another dear servant of Christ, Warren Sheridan, recently learned that he has advanced cancer. Warren is a life-long member of Trinity, and has been a leader in our congregation for more than fifty years.

Warren played a key role in Peter's adoption, since he served as treasurer when donations to the adoption fund poured in from across the United States. In addition, shortly before our 2008 trip to Ukraine, it was necessary to convert the monies in the fund into other payment forms(cashier's checks, wire transfers, etc.). Warren accompanied Jonathan and me to the church's bank to handle all the time-consuming paperwork.

In the years since, his caring and patient leadership has blessed our family in many ways. Wrongdoing by one of our children prompted a measured and wise response from the church council, with Warren taking a lead to ensure discipline and not punishment. As treasurer at my workplace, he has always been patient and conscientious in dealing with a multitude of requests from employees and members.

At our recent anniversary celebration, the assembled guests at the banquet spontaneously rose to their feet to give Warren a standing ovation. "Well-done, good and faithful servant!" Please keep Warren, his wife Judy, and their entire family in your prayers.
