Doug and Jennifer Tye
Doug Tye has asked for the class’s help with a luncheon for 20 people to be held in the Oxford Room at Boston Avenue, Saturday, May 22, at 11:30 am. The service for Jennifer will be at 1:00 pm at Boston Avenue.
Karen will be coordinating the arrangements through the Lotsa Helping Hands website, where our Maranatha Class has a special home for scheduling help when it’s needed. If you haven’t signed up for Lotsa Helping Hands yet, click the CARE-anatha link under Website Pages at the right and follow the instructions there. Or, contact Karen directly. Her email address is k.brownlee(at)sbcglobal.net.
Here is the list as it now stands:
Main dish: Spiral-cut ham (Karen will buy — donations to help pay for the ham can be brought to Sunday School)
Corn: Tallents
Baked Beans: Meehans
Rolls: Martins
Tea, Coffee & Water: Boston Avenue
Needed:
Volunteers to help
Please bring your dishes to the main kitchen between 10:30 and 11:00 on Saturday morning, and let Karen know what dish you’ll be bringing and/or if you can volunteer.
We will be using Lots Helping Hands to coordinate meals and other needs as possible, so please be sure to set up your account there by visiting the CARE-anatha website page.

It is with great sadness that I inform you that our friend Jennifer Tye died at 2:30 PM today with family and friends at her bedside. Her service will be Saturday at 1:00 at the church. We will help with a lunch afterward for the family.
Carol Maus sent this update yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon:
Jennifer’s condition is very grave. Doug and I stayed with her last night and she had a very rough time. Her systems are beginning to shut down. She is not responsive to neurological stimulation. I just stopped by the office to pick up some things. Her sister is coming in tonight. We will keep you posted.
Carol has said, too, that nothing is needed from the Maranatha class at this time.

Class Members,
Today, the following request was received from Sharon Bookout who is in need of a loaned auto for an indefinite period of time. I urge you to contact Sharon by E-mail, bookosh, or by calling her at home (check your member’s or church directory for the number). Her message is as follows:
“I would like to make a request of the class if possible. I am need of a vehicle to drive until I can either get mine fixed or replaced. I’m waiting on the insurance company to see what they are going to do, but in the mean time I have no transportation. Thanks. Sharon Bookout”
Richard Wansley forwarded the following so that others in the class would be aware of what happened to Bob and Lynn on Sunday. Lynn told him that she and Bob don’t have any requests of the class.

I came home after Sunday School on Sunday to find our house had been broken into. I was gone under 2 hours and they went through everything. All of my jewelry was taken and they took all of our precription drugs, cameras and we really don’t know everything yet. I had taken my granddaughter to lunch or I would have walked in on them. Crazy day we hope to see you all tonight. Lynn
This message is to announce the new website for the Maranatha Class and an online community for helping to organize care for class members in need. Karen Campbell and I gave a presentation in class on January 30. Because not every one was in class that day (and because it was confusing anyway), I am attaching the handout in two different formats, and I wanted to give you the links to the website, as well as to the presentation online at Vimeo.com.
The URL for the Maranatha Class Website is www.maranathaclass.org.
You can watch the class presentation on how the new website works. It is now available on Vimeo.com. The link to the video is http://vimeo.com/9547574. Or, you can reach it from the Welcome page on the Maranatha Class Website.
Please subscribe to the Maranatha Class Blog on any page of the site. We will be changing the way that we deliver emails within the next several months. The Maranatha Class Blog page will have the Class Newsletters and any CARE-anatha announcements regarding class members. If you have subscribed, you will receive emails of each post instead of through the Gmail account. You will need to be subscribed to get these emails.
There is a link to the Class Calendar, which you can use to find social activities, class mission projects, and Sunday School specifics, such as the names of each week’s speaker, prayer, and those greeting and bringing refreshments.
While most of the site is available to anyone, in order to keep certain class member information private there are two logins required. The Class Member Page link will take you to a password-protected page where you can find a link to the class member photos on Picasa (courtesy Pam Low), and downloadable copies of the roster and the email list (also the work of Pam Low). If you’d like to know the password to the Class Member Page, just contact any of the officers.
The CARE-anatha link (under Pages) leads to Lotsa Helping Hands, where you will find an online community for organizing care needs. This is the second place where a login will be required. Karen and I will coordinate our CARE-anatha scheduling there when the time comes, but we hope that you will register for the site now. See the instructions for registering on the CARE-anatha page.
As before, if you have any care needs, please contact Karen Campbell or me . For other questions or class-related business, contact Richard Wansley or Meredith Davison , or use the Class Officers link on the website for other officer names.
If you have any questions about the website, please let me know.

Karen Harris wrote to let the class to know that Joe’s mother Margaret Harris passed away yesterday in Philadelphia. They’ll probably be leaving Thursday and staying through the weekend.
