Question How do people perceive the church Do people perceive it as a doctorrsquos office or a gym
Experience tells me most perceive the church like a doctorrsquos office Itrsquos a place where you go when something is wrong Itrsquos a place you go to find a cure for what ails you Itrsquos a place where you visit a trained and experienced professional physician of the soul ndash trained in the ways of ldquoThe Great Physicianrdquo ndash who can assess your malady and prescribe a remedy The problem with this perception is pretty simple Like a doctorrsquos office church becomes a place to be avoided at all costs How many people visit the doctorrsquos office when theyrsquore feeling well and think theyrsquove got their health under control Not many
I would submit the perception of church needs to change to being more like a gym Whatrsquos a gym Itrsquos a place where one ldquoworks outrdquo Why Because they want to get ldquoin shaperdquo They want to enjoy a better quality of life that is born out of physical fitness a fitness that comes through consistent and faithful ldquoworking outrdquo of their bodies both inside and outside the gym
The apostle Paul writes to the Philippians
ldquohellipwork out your own salvation with fear and trembling for it is God who is at work in you enabling you both to will and to work for his gordquo (Philippians 212b-13)
The church was never meant to be a doctorrsquos office The church was meant to be more like a gym a place where one ldquoworks outrdquo their faith because they recognize with fear and trembling just how important it is to do so Itrsquos a place where one should be able to consistently and faithfully ldquowork outrdquo their faith both inside and outside the church that they might be more spiritually fit able to ldquowill (desire) and to work for (do) His good pleasurerdquo
How do you see church As a Doctorrsquos office or as a gym My perception has changed over the years I now understand that a pastor is not a doctor Irsquom not here to prescribe remedies for peoplersquos problems Irsquom more of a trainer Irsquom here to come alongside encourage and assist folks as they ldquowork outrdquo their faith to the end that their faith might be strong and they might be able to discern desire and do Godrsquos will in their lives As your spiritual ldquotrainerrdquo I encourage you to see church the same way ndash as a place to exercise your faith faithfully and frequently through using it in service both within and beyond the church and I encourage you to encourage your friends and neighbors to come ldquowork outrdquo here as well
Doctor or Gym

DAWN OF COURAGE By Nancy Trueheart
I had the honor of interviewing Hissrsquo own Dawn Macreadie who is one young woman who has faced more than her fair share of challenges in this lifetime Dawn the daughter of Don and Mary Macreadie has been brought up in the Hiss Church family She attends the 800 service
Dawn graduated from Parkville High earned her Bachelorrsquos Degree from Villa Julie College in Nursing and a Masterrsquos Degree from the University of Maryland She has attained the much coveted position of Nurse Practitioner Dawn began having medical problems in 2005 Just some of her medical issues include back fusion a shunt drain placed in her head for proper drainage of spinal fluids into her stomach a ruptured appendix gallbladder surgery blood clotting disorder and finally culminating in a hemorrhagic stroke in 2011 which landed her in Shock Trauma for a period of time This was an extremely difficult event for a young woman of 36
In between her many hospitalizations and recoveries she lost several significant job positions due to her medical challenges and time missed from work
Recovery and the challenges thereof have been a long and difficult journey Dawn could think of exactly what it was she wanted to say but she had difficulty forming the words The doctors told her she had temporary cognitive delay This news of course was shocking and extremely disturbing to such a young vibrant woman Dawn freely admits that she suffered some dark nights of the soul in accepting the difficulties that arose as a result of her stroke
The Hiss Family her family friends colleagues all rallied to support her during this time of uncertainty Liz Siskey recommended Dawn contact a program called DORS which became a significant support in Dawnrsquos relearning process Dawn underwent a battery of neurological tests which showed weakness in certain areas
In 2012 Dawn made a firm decision she was going to dedicate all her strength courage and ability to rehabilitating herself so she could again return to the active and productive life she lived before She wanted more than anything to return to work as a Nurse Practitioner and to continue her pursuit of her Doctorate Degree Many of her physicians thought that while these goals were admirable they would be nearly impossible to attain
This is where Godrsquos glory along with Dawnrsquos faith belief and perseverance came into full power Dawnrsquos family worked many hours days months helping to build her cognitive skills with flashcards puzzles games programs reading speaking Julie Buckman Lilly amp Brett Judy Heiger and family became wonderful teachers partners and coaches with Dawn spending many hours with her working on brain games mathematics challenging exercises to help Dawn enhance her cognitive skills
Dawn and Doc Dog

As you can imagine this journey has been very difficult and painful Dawnrsquos recovery is nothing short of miraculous She worked extremely hard to again regain her marvelous abili-ties and talents The sheer determination and persistence Dawn has displayed she relates to her faith the love of her family and friends the strong support of Pastor George Weitzel and her Hiss Family for all their prayers and support Now she is moving on in her career goals to pursue her Doctorate Degree
Donrsquot we all wonder how some people are able to face such unimaginable challenges with such courage and determina-tion There is always that inner voice in all of us that speaks ev-er so gently to our hearts and minds telling us that we are loved even when we want to quit and give up There is that pull or spiritual connection that wonrsquot let us give up Somehow deep within we know we were meant to fight on another day dig our heels in and continue on the path that God shows us so sparingly one step at a time
Can we appreciate the deep resolve a young woman like Dawn has to pursue her career goals and educational milestones Dawn has put her full faith and trust into Godrsquos hands to lead her way This should teach us all many things about courage We sometimes become so discouraged in life over the silliest things
Dawn admits she has spent many hours wondering the big WHY question What have I done What am I supposed to learn I suggested to her maybe it wasnrsquot for you but it was for the rest of us It was a lesson for us to learn compassion strength of character perseverance through seemingly in-surmountable odds God chose Dawn as his vehicle to teach us just as he chose Jesus to teach us He saw her grow and develop over the years to this intelligent determined young woman who has brought herself along to a great career of caring for others in the medical field He chose her because she would understand the medical challenges and she had the courage to hang on and fight She had the determination to say Irsquoll overcome lifersquos hardest tests
Yes she got discouraged She got plenty discouraged But her faith kept pulling her back even when Pastor George kept telling her itrsquos in Godrsquos hands it will be okay She became upset many nights yet that ldquosomethingrdquo inside her kept telling her to go on one more day at a time one more painful pro-cedure one more frustrating recovery
Dawn didnrsquot understand the reason she just responded to her deep down conviction that she would get better and that somewhere somehow there was a greater purpose behind all of this
God knows who to pick for every assignment he has He knows the ingredients he has placed inside each and every one of us He will bring the opportunity to you then it is up to us to accept and overcome or deny and withdrawal That is kind of what life is all about
As I drove away from Dawnrsquos home that day I turned on the radio and a song came on from many years ago by Dianna Ross the Theme from Mahogany As I listened to the lyrics I couldnrsquot stop the tears from running down my face See if you feel the same
ldquoDo you know where yoursquore going to Do you like the things that life is showing you Where are you going to Do you know Do you get what yoursquore hoping for when you look behind you therersquos no open door what are you hoping for Do you knowrdquo
Perhaps none of us know but we do know he who holds our hand Put your heart out with the same courage that Dawn has taught us and you will never regret it for a second

DAWN OF COURAGE By Nancy Trueheart
I had the honor of interviewing Hissrsquo own Dawn Macreadie who is one young woman who has faced more than her fair share of challenges in this lifetime Dawn the daughter of Don and Mary Macreadie has been brought up in the Hiss Church family She attends the 800 service
Dawn graduated from Parkville High earned her Bachelorrsquos Degree from Villa Julie College in Nursing and a Masterrsquos Degree from the University of Maryland She has attained the much coveted position of Nurse Practitioner Dawn began having medical problems in 2005 Just some of her medical issues include back fusion a shunt drain placed in her head for proper drainage of spinal fluids into her stomach a ruptured appendix gallbladder surgery blood clotting disorder and finally culminating in a hemorrhagic stroke in 2011 which landed her in Shock Trauma for a period of time This was an extremely difficult event for a young woman of 36
In between her many hospitalizations and recoveries she lost several significant job positions due to her medical challenges and time missed from work
Recovery and the challenges thereof have been a long and difficult journey Dawn could think of exactly what it was she wanted to say but she had difficulty forming the words The doctors told her she had temporary cognitive delay This news of course was shocking and extremely disturbing to such a young vibrant woman Dawn freely admits that she suffered some dark nights of the soul in accepting the difficulties that arose as a result of her stroke
The Hiss Family her family friends colleagues all rallied to support her during this time of uncertainty Liz Siskey recommended Dawn contact a program called DORS which became a significant support in Dawnrsquos relearning process Dawn underwent a battery of neurological tests which showed weakness in certain areas
In 2012 Dawn made a firm decision she was going to dedicate all her strength courage and ability to rehabilitating herself so she could again return to the active and productive life she lived before She wanted more than anything to return to work as a Nurse Practitioner and to continue her pursuit of her Doctorate Degree Many of her physicians thought that while these goals were admirable they would be nearly impossible to attain
This is where Godrsquos glory along with Dawnrsquos faith belief and perseverance came into full power Dawnrsquos family worked many hours days months helping to build her cognitive skills with flashcards puzzles games programs reading speaking Julie Buckman Lilly amp Brett Judy Heiger and family became wonderful teachers partners and coaches with Dawn spending many hours with her working on brain games mathematics challenging exercises to help Dawn enhance her cognitive skills
Dawn and Doc Dog

As you can imagine this journey has been very difficult and painful Dawnrsquos recovery is nothing short of miraculous She worked extremely hard to again regain her marvelous abili-ties and talents The sheer determination and persistence Dawn has displayed she relates to her faith the love of her family and friends the strong support of Pastor George Weitzel and her Hiss Family for all their prayers and support Now she is moving on in her career goals to pursue her Doctorate Degree
Donrsquot we all wonder how some people are able to face such unimaginable challenges with such courage and determina-tion There is always that inner voice in all of us that speaks ev-er so gently to our hearts and minds telling us that we are loved even when we want to quit and give up There is that pull or spiritual connection that wonrsquot let us give up Somehow deep within we know we were meant to fight on another day dig our heels in and continue on the path that God shows us so sparingly one step at a time
Can we appreciate the deep resolve a young woman like Dawn has to pursue her career goals and educational milestones Dawn has put her full faith and trust into Godrsquos hands to lead her way This should teach us all many things about courage We sometimes become so discouraged in life over the silliest things
Dawn admits she has spent many hours wondering the big WHY question What have I done What am I supposed to learn I suggested to her maybe it wasnrsquot for you but it was for the rest of us It was a lesson for us to learn compassion strength of character perseverance through seemingly in-surmountable odds God chose Dawn as his vehicle to teach us just as he chose Jesus to teach us He saw her grow and develop over the years to this intelligent determined young woman who has brought herself along to a great career of caring for others in the medical field He chose her because she would understand the medical challenges and she had the courage to hang on and fight She had the determination to say Irsquoll overcome lifersquos hardest tests
Yes she got discouraged She got plenty discouraged But her faith kept pulling her back even when Pastor George kept telling her itrsquos in Godrsquos hands it will be okay She became upset many nights yet that ldquosomethingrdquo inside her kept telling her to go on one more day at a time one more painful pro-cedure one more frustrating recovery
Dawn didnrsquot understand the reason she just responded to her deep down conviction that she would get better and that somewhere somehow there was a greater purpose behind all of this
God knows who to pick for every assignment he has He knows the ingredients he has placed inside each and every one of us He will bring the opportunity to you then it is up to us to accept and overcome or deny and withdrawal That is kind of what life is all about
As I drove away from Dawnrsquos home that day I turned on the radio and a song came on from many years ago by Dianna Ross the Theme from Mahogany As I listened to the lyrics I couldnrsquot stop the tears from running down my face See if you feel the same
ldquoDo you know where yoursquore going to Do you like the things that life is showing you Where are you going to Do you know Do you get what yoursquore hoping for when you look behind you therersquos no open door what are you hoping for Do you knowrdquo
Perhaps none of us know but we do know he who holds our hand Put your heart out with the same courage that Dawn has taught us and you will never regret it for a second

DAWN OF COURAGE By Nancy Trueheart
I had the honor of interviewing Hissrsquo own Dawn Macreadie who is one young woman who has faced more than her fair share of challenges in this lifetime Dawn the daughter of Don and Mary Macreadie has been brought up in the Hiss Church family She attends the 800 service
Dawn graduated from Parkville High earned her Bachelorrsquos Degree from Villa Julie College in Nursing and a Masterrsquos Degree from the University of Maryland She has attained the much coveted position of Nurse Practitioner Dawn began having medical problems in 2005 Just some of her medical issues include back fusion a shunt drain placed in her head for proper drainage of spinal fluids into her stomach a ruptured appendix gallbladder surgery blood clotting disorder and finally culminating in a hemorrhagic stroke in 2011 which landed her in Shock Trauma for a period of time This was an extremely difficult event for a young woman of 36
In between her many hospitalizations and recoveries she lost several significant job positions due to her medical challenges and time missed from work
Recovery and the challenges thereof have been a long and difficult journey Dawn could think of exactly what it was she wanted to say but she had difficulty forming the words The doctors told her she had temporary cognitive delay This news of course was shocking and extremely disturbing to such a young vibrant woman Dawn freely admits that she suffered some dark nights of the soul in accepting the difficulties that arose as a result of her stroke
The Hiss Family her family friends colleagues all rallied to support her during this time of uncertainty Liz Siskey recommended Dawn contact a program called DORS which became a significant support in Dawnrsquos relearning process Dawn underwent a battery of neurological tests which showed weakness in certain areas
In 2012 Dawn made a firm decision she was going to dedicate all her strength courage and ability to rehabilitating herself so she could again return to the active and productive life she lived before She wanted more than anything to return to work as a Nurse Practitioner and to continue her pursuit of her Doctorate Degree Many of her physicians thought that while these goals were admirable they would be nearly impossible to attain
This is where Godrsquos glory along with Dawnrsquos faith belief and perseverance came into full power Dawnrsquos family worked many hours days months helping to build her cognitive skills with flashcards puzzles games programs reading speaking Julie Buckman Lilly amp Brett Judy Heiger and family became wonderful teachers partners and coaches with Dawn spending many hours with her working on brain games mathematics challenging exercises to help Dawn enhance her cognitive skills
Dawn and Doc Dog

As you can imagine this journey has been very difficult and painful Dawnrsquos recovery is nothing short of miraculous She worked extremely hard to again regain her marvelous abili-ties and talents The sheer determination and persistence Dawn has displayed she relates to her faith the love of her family and friends the strong support of Pastor George Weitzel and her Hiss Family for all their prayers and support Now she is moving on in her career goals to pursue her Doctorate Degree
Donrsquot we all wonder how some people are able to face such unimaginable challenges with such courage and determina-tion There is always that inner voice in all of us that speaks ev-er so gently to our hearts and minds telling us that we are loved even when we want to quit and give up There is that pull or spiritual connection that wonrsquot let us give up Somehow deep within we know we were meant to fight on another day dig our heels in and continue on the path that God shows us so sparingly one step at a time
Can we appreciate the deep resolve a young woman like Dawn has to pursue her career goals and educational milestones Dawn has put her full faith and trust into Godrsquos hands to lead her way This should teach us all many things about courage We sometimes become so discouraged in life over the silliest things
Dawn admits she has spent many hours wondering the big WHY question What have I done What am I supposed to learn I suggested to her maybe it wasnrsquot for you but it was for the rest of us It was a lesson for us to learn compassion strength of character perseverance through seemingly in-surmountable odds God chose Dawn as his vehicle to teach us just as he chose Jesus to teach us He saw her grow and develop over the years to this intelligent determined young woman who has brought herself along to a great career of caring for others in the medical field He chose her because she would understand the medical challenges and she had the courage to hang on and fight She had the determination to say Irsquoll overcome lifersquos hardest tests
Yes she got discouraged She got plenty discouraged But her faith kept pulling her back even when Pastor George kept telling her itrsquos in Godrsquos hands it will be okay She became upset many nights yet that ldquosomethingrdquo inside her kept telling her to go on one more day at a time one more painful pro-cedure one more frustrating recovery
Dawn didnrsquot understand the reason she just responded to her deep down conviction that she would get better and that somewhere somehow there was a greater purpose behind all of this
God knows who to pick for every assignment he has He knows the ingredients he has placed inside each and every one of us He will bring the opportunity to you then it is up to us to accept and overcome or deny and withdrawal That is kind of what life is all about
As I drove away from Dawnrsquos home that day I turned on the radio and a song came on from many years ago by Dianna Ross the Theme from Mahogany As I listened to the lyrics I couldnrsquot stop the tears from running down my face See if you feel the same
ldquoDo you know where yoursquore going to Do you like the things that life is showing you Where are you going to Do you know Do you get what yoursquore hoping for when you look behind you therersquos no open door what are you hoping for Do you knowrdquo
Perhaps none of us know but we do know he who holds our hand Put your heart out with the same courage that Dawn has taught us and you will never regret it for a second

DAWN OF COURAGE By Nancy Trueheart
I had the honor of interviewing Hissrsquo own Dawn Macreadie who is one young woman who has faced more than her fair share of challenges in this lifetime Dawn the daughter of Don and Mary Macreadie has been brought up in the Hiss Church family She attends the 800 service
Dawn graduated from Parkville High earned her Bachelorrsquos Degree from Villa Julie College in Nursing and a Masterrsquos Degree from the University of Maryland She has attained the much coveted position of Nurse Practitioner Dawn began having medical problems in 2005 Just some of her medical issues include back fusion a shunt drain placed in her head for proper drainage of spinal fluids into her stomach a ruptured appendix gallbladder surgery blood clotting disorder and finally culminating in a hemorrhagic stroke in 2011 which landed her in Shock Trauma for a period of time This was an extremely difficult event for a young woman of 36
In between her many hospitalizations and recoveries she lost several significant job positions due to her medical challenges and time missed from work
Recovery and the challenges thereof have been a long and difficult journey Dawn could think of exactly what it was she wanted to say but she had difficulty forming the words The doctors told her she had temporary cognitive delay This news of course was shocking and extremely disturbing to such a young vibrant woman Dawn freely admits that she suffered some dark nights of the soul in accepting the difficulties that arose as a result of her stroke
The Hiss Family her family friends colleagues all rallied to support her during this time of uncertainty Liz Siskey recommended Dawn contact a program called DORS which became a significant support in Dawnrsquos relearning process Dawn underwent a battery of neurological tests which showed weakness in certain areas
In 2012 Dawn made a firm decision she was going to dedicate all her strength courage and ability to rehabilitating herself so she could again return to the active and productive life she lived before She wanted more than anything to return to work as a Nurse Practitioner and to continue her pursuit of her Doctorate Degree Many of her physicians thought that while these goals were admirable they would be nearly impossible to attain
This is where Godrsquos glory along with Dawnrsquos faith belief and perseverance came into full power Dawnrsquos family worked many hours days months helping to build her cognitive skills with flashcards puzzles games programs reading speaking Julie Buckman Lilly amp Brett Judy Heiger and family became wonderful teachers partners and coaches with Dawn spending many hours with her working on brain games mathematics challenging exercises to help Dawn enhance her cognitive skills
Dawn and Doc Dog

As you can imagine this journey has been very difficult and painful Dawnrsquos recovery is nothing short of miraculous She worked extremely hard to again regain her marvelous abili-ties and talents The sheer determination and persistence Dawn has displayed she relates to her faith the love of her family and friends the strong support of Pastor George Weitzel and her Hiss Family for all their prayers and support Now she is moving on in her career goals to pursue her Doctorate Degree
Donrsquot we all wonder how some people are able to face such unimaginable challenges with such courage and determina-tion There is always that inner voice in all of us that speaks ev-er so gently to our hearts and minds telling us that we are loved even when we want to quit and give up There is that pull or spiritual connection that wonrsquot let us give up Somehow deep within we know we were meant to fight on another day dig our heels in and continue on the path that God shows us so sparingly one step at a time
Can we appreciate the deep resolve a young woman like Dawn has to pursue her career goals and educational milestones Dawn has put her full faith and trust into Godrsquos hands to lead her way This should teach us all many things about courage We sometimes become so discouraged in life over the silliest things
Dawn admits she has spent many hours wondering the big WHY question What have I done What am I supposed to learn I suggested to her maybe it wasnrsquot for you but it was for the rest of us It was a lesson for us to learn compassion strength of character perseverance through seemingly in-surmountable odds God chose Dawn as his vehicle to teach us just as he chose Jesus to teach us He saw her grow and develop over the years to this intelligent determined young woman who has brought herself along to a great career of caring for others in the medical field He chose her because she would understand the medical challenges and she had the courage to hang on and fight She had the determination to say Irsquoll overcome lifersquos hardest tests
Yes she got discouraged She got plenty discouraged But her faith kept pulling her back even when Pastor George kept telling her itrsquos in Godrsquos hands it will be okay She became upset many nights yet that ldquosomethingrdquo inside her kept telling her to go on one more day at a time one more painful pro-cedure one more frustrating recovery
Dawn didnrsquot understand the reason she just responded to her deep down conviction that she would get better and that somewhere somehow there was a greater purpose behind all of this
God knows who to pick for every assignment he has He knows the ingredients he has placed inside each and every one of us He will bring the opportunity to you then it is up to us to accept and overcome or deny and withdrawal That is kind of what life is all about
As I drove away from Dawnrsquos home that day I turned on the radio and a song came on from many years ago by Dianna Ross the Theme from Mahogany As I listened to the lyrics I couldnrsquot stop the tears from running down my face See if you feel the same
ldquoDo you know where yoursquore going to Do you like the things that life is showing you Where are you going to Do you know Do you get what yoursquore hoping for when you look behind you therersquos no open door what are you hoping for Do you knowrdquo
Perhaps none of us know but we do know he who holds our hand Put your heart out with the same courage that Dawn has taught us and you will never regret it for a second

DAWN OF COURAGE By Nancy Trueheart
I had the honor of interviewing Hissrsquo own Dawn Macreadie who is one young woman who has faced more than her fair share of challenges in this lifetime Dawn the daughter of Don and Mary Macreadie has been brought up in the Hiss Church family She attends the 800 service
Dawn graduated from Parkville High earned her Bachelorrsquos Degree from Villa Julie College in Nursing and a Masterrsquos Degree from the University of Maryland She has attained the much coveted position of Nurse Practitioner Dawn began having medical problems in 2005 Just some of her medical issues include back fusion a shunt drain placed in her head for proper drainage of spinal fluids into her stomach a ruptured appendix gallbladder surgery blood clotting disorder and finally culminating in a hemorrhagic stroke in 2011 which landed her in Shock Trauma for a period of time This was an extremely difficult event for a young woman of 36
In between her many hospitalizations and recoveries she lost several significant job positions due to her medical challenges and time missed from work
Recovery and the challenges thereof have been a long and difficult journey Dawn could think of exactly what it was she wanted to say but she had difficulty forming the words The doctors told her she had temporary cognitive delay This news of course was shocking and extremely disturbing to such a young vibrant woman Dawn freely admits that she suffered some dark nights of the soul in accepting the difficulties that arose as a result of her stroke
The Hiss Family her family friends colleagues all rallied to support her during this time of uncertainty Liz Siskey recommended Dawn contact a program called DORS which became a significant support in Dawnrsquos relearning process Dawn underwent a battery of neurological tests which showed weakness in certain areas
In 2012 Dawn made a firm decision she was going to dedicate all her strength courage and ability to rehabilitating herself so she could again return to the active and productive life she lived before She wanted more than anything to return to work as a Nurse Practitioner and to continue her pursuit of her Doctorate Degree Many of her physicians thought that while these goals were admirable they would be nearly impossible to attain
This is where Godrsquos glory along with Dawnrsquos faith belief and perseverance came into full power Dawnrsquos family worked many hours days months helping to build her cognitive skills with flashcards puzzles games programs reading speaking Julie Buckman Lilly amp Brett Judy Heiger and family became wonderful teachers partners and coaches with Dawn spending many hours with her working on brain games mathematics challenging exercises to help Dawn enhance her cognitive skills
Dawn and Doc Dog

As you can imagine this journey has been very difficult and painful Dawnrsquos recovery is nothing short of miraculous She worked extremely hard to again regain her marvelous abili-ties and talents The sheer determination and persistence Dawn has displayed she relates to her faith the love of her family and friends the strong support of Pastor George Weitzel and her Hiss Family for all their prayers and support Now she is moving on in her career goals to pursue her Doctorate Degree
Donrsquot we all wonder how some people are able to face such unimaginable challenges with such courage and determina-tion There is always that inner voice in all of us that speaks ev-er so gently to our hearts and minds telling us that we are loved even when we want to quit and give up There is that pull or spiritual connection that wonrsquot let us give up Somehow deep within we know we were meant to fight on another day dig our heels in and continue on the path that God shows us so sparingly one step at a time
Can we appreciate the deep resolve a young woman like Dawn has to pursue her career goals and educational milestones Dawn has put her full faith and trust into Godrsquos hands to lead her way This should teach us all many things about courage We sometimes become so discouraged in life over the silliest things
Dawn admits she has spent many hours wondering the big WHY question What have I done What am I supposed to learn I suggested to her maybe it wasnrsquot for you but it was for the rest of us It was a lesson for us to learn compassion strength of character perseverance through seemingly in-surmountable odds God chose Dawn as his vehicle to teach us just as he chose Jesus to teach us He saw her grow and develop over the years to this intelligent determined young woman who has brought herself along to a great career of caring for others in the medical field He chose her because she would understand the medical challenges and she had the courage to hang on and fight She had the determination to say Irsquoll overcome lifersquos hardest tests
Yes she got discouraged She got plenty discouraged But her faith kept pulling her back even when Pastor George kept telling her itrsquos in Godrsquos hands it will be okay She became upset many nights yet that ldquosomethingrdquo inside her kept telling her to go on one more day at a time one more painful pro-cedure one more frustrating recovery
Dawn didnrsquot understand the reason she just responded to her deep down conviction that she would get better and that somewhere somehow there was a greater purpose behind all of this
God knows who to pick for every assignment he has He knows the ingredients he has placed inside each and every one of us He will bring the opportunity to you then it is up to us to accept and overcome or deny and withdrawal That is kind of what life is all about
As I drove away from Dawnrsquos home that day I turned on the radio and a song came on from many years ago by Dianna Ross the Theme from Mahogany As I listened to the lyrics I couldnrsquot stop the tears from running down my face See if you feel the same
ldquoDo you know where yoursquore going to Do you like the things that life is showing you Where are you going to Do you know Do you get what yoursquore hoping for when you look behind you therersquos no open door what are you hoping for Do you knowrdquo
Perhaps none of us know but we do know he who holds our hand Put your heart out with the same courage that Dawn has taught us and you will never regret it for a second

DAWN OF COURAGE By Nancy Trueheart
I had the honor of interviewing Hissrsquo own Dawn Macreadie who is one young woman who has faced more than her fair share of challenges in this lifetime Dawn the daughter of Don and Mary Macreadie has been brought up in the Hiss Church family She attends the 800 service
Dawn graduated from Parkville High earned her Bachelorrsquos Degree from Villa Julie College in Nursing and a Masterrsquos Degree from the University of Maryland She has attained the much coveted position of Nurse Practitioner Dawn began having medical problems in 2005 Just some of her medical issues include back fusion a shunt drain placed in her head for proper drainage of spinal fluids into her stomach a ruptured appendix gallbladder surgery blood clotting disorder and finally culminating in a hemorrhagic stroke in 2011 which landed her in Shock Trauma for a period of time This was an extremely difficult event for a young woman of 36
In between her many hospitalizations and recoveries she lost several significant job positions due to her medical challenges and time missed from work
Recovery and the challenges thereof have been a long and difficult journey Dawn could think of exactly what it was she wanted to say but she had difficulty forming the words The doctors told her she had temporary cognitive delay This news of course was shocking and extremely disturbing to such a young vibrant woman Dawn freely admits that she suffered some dark nights of the soul in accepting the difficulties that arose as a result of her stroke
The Hiss Family her family friends colleagues all rallied to support her during this time of uncertainty Liz Siskey recommended Dawn contact a program called DORS which became a significant support in Dawnrsquos relearning process Dawn underwent a battery of neurological tests which showed weakness in certain areas
In 2012 Dawn made a firm decision she was going to dedicate all her strength courage and ability to rehabilitating herself so she could again return to the active and productive life she lived before She wanted more than anything to return to work as a Nurse Practitioner and to continue her pursuit of her Doctorate Degree Many of her physicians thought that while these goals were admirable they would be nearly impossible to attain
This is where Godrsquos glory along with Dawnrsquos faith belief and perseverance came into full power Dawnrsquos family worked many hours days months helping to build her cognitive skills with flashcards puzzles games programs reading speaking Julie Buckman Lilly amp Brett Judy Heiger and family became wonderful teachers partners and coaches with Dawn spending many hours with her working on brain games mathematics challenging exercises to help Dawn enhance her cognitive skills
Dawn and Doc Dog

As you can imagine this journey has been very difficult and painful Dawnrsquos recovery is nothing short of miraculous She worked extremely hard to again regain her marvelous abili-ties and talents The sheer determination and persistence Dawn has displayed she relates to her faith the love of her family and friends the strong support of Pastor George Weitzel and her Hiss Family for all their prayers and support Now she is moving on in her career goals to pursue her Doctorate Degree
Donrsquot we all wonder how some people are able to face such unimaginable challenges with such courage and determina-tion There is always that inner voice in all of us that speaks ev-er so gently to our hearts and minds telling us that we are loved even when we want to quit and give up There is that pull or spiritual connection that wonrsquot let us give up Somehow deep within we know we were meant to fight on another day dig our heels in and continue on the path that God shows us so sparingly one step at a time
Can we appreciate the deep resolve a young woman like Dawn has to pursue her career goals and educational milestones Dawn has put her full faith and trust into Godrsquos hands to lead her way This should teach us all many things about courage We sometimes become so discouraged in life over the silliest things
Dawn admits she has spent many hours wondering the big WHY question What have I done What am I supposed to learn I suggested to her maybe it wasnrsquot for you but it was for the rest of us It was a lesson for us to learn compassion strength of character perseverance through seemingly in-surmountable odds God chose Dawn as his vehicle to teach us just as he chose Jesus to teach us He saw her grow and develop over the years to this intelligent determined young woman who has brought herself along to a great career of caring for others in the medical field He chose her because she would understand the medical challenges and she had the courage to hang on and fight She had the determination to say Irsquoll overcome lifersquos hardest tests
Yes she got discouraged She got plenty discouraged But her faith kept pulling her back even when Pastor George kept telling her itrsquos in Godrsquos hands it will be okay She became upset many nights yet that ldquosomethingrdquo inside her kept telling her to go on one more day at a time one more painful pro-cedure one more frustrating recovery
Dawn didnrsquot understand the reason she just responded to her deep down conviction that she would get better and that somewhere somehow there was a greater purpose behind all of this
God knows who to pick for every assignment he has He knows the ingredients he has placed inside each and every one of us He will bring the opportunity to you then it is up to us to accept and overcome or deny and withdrawal That is kind of what life is all about
As I drove away from Dawnrsquos home that day I turned on the radio and a song came on from many years ago by Dianna Ross the Theme from Mahogany As I listened to the lyrics I couldnrsquot stop the tears from running down my face See if you feel the same
ldquoDo you know where yoursquore going to Do you like the things that life is showing you Where are you going to Do you know Do you get what yoursquore hoping for when you look behind you therersquos no open door what are you hoping for Do you knowrdquo
Perhaps none of us know but we do know he who holds our hand Put your heart out with the same courage that Dawn has taught us and you will never regret it for a second

DAWN OF COURAGE By Nancy Trueheart
I had the honor of interviewing Hissrsquo own Dawn Macreadie who is one young woman who has faced more than her fair share of challenges in this lifetime Dawn the daughter of Don and Mary Macreadie has been brought up in the Hiss Church family She attends the 800 service
Dawn graduated from Parkville High earned her Bachelorrsquos Degree from Villa Julie College in Nursing and a Masterrsquos Degree from the University of Maryland She has attained the much coveted position of Nurse Practitioner Dawn began having medical problems in 2005 Just some of her medical issues include back fusion a shunt drain placed in her head for proper drainage of spinal fluids into her stomach a ruptured appendix gallbladder surgery blood clotting disorder and finally culminating in a hemorrhagic stroke in 2011 which landed her in Shock Trauma for a period of time This was an extremely difficult event for a young woman of 36
In between her many hospitalizations and recoveries she lost several significant job positions due to her medical challenges and time missed from work
Recovery and the challenges thereof have been a long and difficult journey Dawn could think of exactly what it was she wanted to say but she had difficulty forming the words The doctors told her she had temporary cognitive delay This news of course was shocking and extremely disturbing to such a young vibrant woman Dawn freely admits that she suffered some dark nights of the soul in accepting the difficulties that arose as a result of her stroke
The Hiss Family her family friends colleagues all rallied to support her during this time of uncertainty Liz Siskey recommended Dawn contact a program called DORS which became a significant support in Dawnrsquos relearning process Dawn underwent a battery of neurological tests which showed weakness in certain areas
In 2012 Dawn made a firm decision she was going to dedicate all her strength courage and ability to rehabilitating herself so she could again return to the active and productive life she lived before She wanted more than anything to return to work as a Nurse Practitioner and to continue her pursuit of her Doctorate Degree Many of her physicians thought that while these goals were admirable they would be nearly impossible to attain
This is where Godrsquos glory along with Dawnrsquos faith belief and perseverance came into full power Dawnrsquos family worked many hours days months helping to build her cognitive skills with flashcards puzzles games programs reading speaking Julie Buckman Lilly amp Brett Judy Heiger and family became wonderful teachers partners and coaches with Dawn spending many hours with her working on brain games mathematics challenging exercises to help Dawn enhance her cognitive skills
Dawn and Doc Dog

As you can imagine this journey has been very difficult and painful Dawnrsquos recovery is nothing short of miraculous She worked extremely hard to again regain her marvelous abili-ties and talents The sheer determination and persistence Dawn has displayed she relates to her faith the love of her family and friends the strong support of Pastor George Weitzel and her Hiss Family for all their prayers and support Now she is moving on in her career goals to pursue her Doctorate Degree
Donrsquot we all wonder how some people are able to face such unimaginable challenges with such courage and determina-tion There is always that inner voice in all of us that speaks ev-er so gently to our hearts and minds telling us that we are loved even when we want to quit and give up There is that pull or spiritual connection that wonrsquot let us give up Somehow deep within we know we were meant to fight on another day dig our heels in and continue on the path that God shows us so sparingly one step at a time
Can we appreciate the deep resolve a young woman like Dawn has to pursue her career goals and educational milestones Dawn has put her full faith and trust into Godrsquos hands to lead her way This should teach us all many things about courage We sometimes become so discouraged in life over the silliest things
Dawn admits she has spent many hours wondering the big WHY question What have I done What am I supposed to learn I suggested to her maybe it wasnrsquot for you but it was for the rest of us It was a lesson for us to learn compassion strength of character perseverance through seemingly in-surmountable odds God chose Dawn as his vehicle to teach us just as he chose Jesus to teach us He saw her grow and develop over the years to this intelligent determined young woman who has brought herself along to a great career of caring for others in the medical field He chose her because she would understand the medical challenges and she had the courage to hang on and fight She had the determination to say Irsquoll overcome lifersquos hardest tests
Yes she got discouraged She got plenty discouraged But her faith kept pulling her back even when Pastor George kept telling her itrsquos in Godrsquos hands it will be okay She became upset many nights yet that ldquosomethingrdquo inside her kept telling her to go on one more day at a time one more painful pro-cedure one more frustrating recovery
Dawn didnrsquot understand the reason she just responded to her deep down conviction that she would get better and that somewhere somehow there was a greater purpose behind all of this
God knows who to pick for every assignment he has He knows the ingredients he has placed inside each and every one of us He will bring the opportunity to you then it is up to us to accept and overcome or deny and withdrawal That is kind of what life is all about
As I drove away from Dawnrsquos home that day I turned on the radio and a song came on from many years ago by Dianna Ross the Theme from Mahogany As I listened to the lyrics I couldnrsquot stop the tears from running down my face See if you feel the same
ldquoDo you know where yoursquore going to Do you like the things that life is showing you Where are you going to Do you know Do you get what yoursquore hoping for when you look behind you therersquos no open door what are you hoping for Do you knowrdquo
Perhaps none of us know but we do know he who holds our hand Put your heart out with the same courage that Dawn has taught us and you will never regret it for a second

DAWN OF COURAGE By Nancy Trueheart
I had the honor of interviewing Hissrsquo own Dawn Macreadie who is one young woman who has faced more than her fair share of challenges in this lifetime Dawn the daughter of Don and Mary Macreadie has been brought up in the Hiss Church family She attends the 800 service

DAWN OF COURAGE By Nancy Trueheart
I had the honor of interviewing Hissrsquo own Dawn Macreadie who is one young woman who has faced more than her fair share of challenges in this lifetime Dawn the daughter of Don and Mary Macreadie has been brought up in the Hiss Church family She attends the 800 service
Dawn graduated from Parkville High earned her Bachelorrsquos Degree from Villa Julie College in Nursing and a Masterrsquos Degree from the University of Maryland She has attained the much coveted position of Nurse Practitioner Dawn began having medical problems in 2005 Just some of her medical issues include back fusion a shunt drain placed in her head for proper drainage of spinal fluids into her stomach a ruptured appendix gallbladder surgery blood clotting disorder and finally culminating in a hemorrhagic stroke in 2011 which landed her in Shock Trauma for a period of time This was an extremely difficult event for a young woman of 36
In between her many hospitalizations and recoveries she lost several significant job positions due to her medical challenges and time missed from work
Recovery and the challenges thereof have been a long and difficult journey Dawn could think of exactly what it was she wanted to say but she had difficulty forming the words The doctors told her she had temporary cognitive delay This news of course was shocking and extremely disturbing to such a young vibrant woman Dawn freely admits that she suffered some dark nights of the soul in accepting the difficulties that arose as a result of her stroke
The Hiss Family her family friends colleagues all rallied to support her during this time of uncertainty Liz Siskey recommended Dawn contact a program called DORS which became a significant support in Dawnrsquos relearning process Dawn underwent a battery of neurological tests which showed weakness in certain areas
In 2012 Dawn made a firm decision she was going to dedicate all her strength courage and ability to rehabilitating herself so she could again return to the active and productive life she lived before She wanted more than anything to return to work as a Nurse Practitioner and to continue her pursuit of her Doctorate Degree Many of her physicians thought that while these goals were admirable they would be nearly impossible to attain
This is where Godrsquos glory along with Dawnrsquos faith belief and perseverance came into full power Dawnrsquos family worked many hours days months helping to build her cognitive skills with flashcards puzzles games programs reading speaking Julie Buckman Lilly amp Brett Judy Heiger and family became wonderful teachers partners and coaches with Dawn spending many hours with her working on brain games mathematics challenging exercises to help Dawn enhance her cognitive skills
Dawn and Doc Dog

As you can imagine this journey has been very difficult and painful Dawnrsquos recovery is nothing short of miraculous She worked extremely hard to again regain her marvelous abili-ties and talents The sheer determination and persistence Dawn has displayed she relates to her faith the love of her family and friends the strong support of Pastor George Weitzel and her Hiss Family for all their prayers and support Now she is moving on in her career goals to pursue her Doctorate Degree
Donrsquot we all wonder how some people are able to face such unimaginable challenges with such courage and determina-tion There is always that inner voice in all of us that speaks ev-er so gently to our hearts and minds telling us that we are loved even when we want to quit and give up There is that pull or spiritual connection that wonrsquot let us give up Somehow deep within we know we were meant to fight on another day dig our heels in and continue on the path that God shows us so sparingly one step at a time
Can we appreciate the deep resolve a young woman like Dawn has to pursue her career goals and educational milestones Dawn has put her full faith and trust into Godrsquos hands to lead her way This should teach us all many things about courage We sometimes become so discouraged in life over the silliest things
Dawn admits she has spent many hours wondering the big WHY question What have I done What am I supposed to learn I suggested to her maybe it wasnrsquot for you but it was for the rest of us It was a lesson for us to learn compassion strength of character perseverance through seemingly in-surmountable odds God chose Dawn as his vehicle to teach us just as he chose Jesus to teach us He saw her grow and develop over the years to this intelligent determined young woman who has brought herself along to a great career of caring for others in the medical field He chose her because she would understand the medical challenges and she had the courage to hang on and fight She had the determination to say Irsquoll overcome lifersquos hardest tests
Yes she got discouraged She got plenty discouraged But her faith kept pulling her back even when Pastor George kept telling her itrsquos in Godrsquos hands it will be okay She became upset many nights yet that ldquosomethingrdquo inside her kept telling her to go on one more day at a time one more painful pro-cedure one more frustrating recovery
Dawn didnrsquot understand the reason she just responded to her deep down conviction that she would get better and that somewhere somehow there was a greater purpose behind all of this
God knows who to pick for every assignment he has He knows the ingredients he has placed inside each and every one of us He will bring the opportunity to you then it is up to us to accept and overcome or deny and withdrawal That is kind of what life is all about
As I drove away from Dawnrsquos home that day I turned on the radio and a song came on from many years ago by Dianna Ross the Theme from Mahogany As I listened to the lyrics I couldnrsquot stop the tears from running down my face See if you feel the same
ldquoDo you know where yoursquore going to Do you like the things that life is showing you Where are you going to Do you know Do you get what yoursquore hoping for when you look behind you therersquos no open door what are you hoping for Do you knowrdquo
Perhaps none of us know but we do know he who holds our hand Put your heart out with the same courage that Dawn has taught us and you will never regret it for a second

175th Anniversary Remembrances
Imagine
A large outdoor banner announcing to the community the 175th milestone Hiss United Methodist Church has reached
A church building and sanctuary decorated with special worship banners
A full colored extended bulletin with church photos The addition of brass or string or other
instrumentalists for our special September 21st service
An expanded permanent exhibit of church history Special community events such Cool Treats and Hot
Rods (ice cream social and car show) or Trunk or Treat
Something bigger that would impact not only the anniversary service but also last throughout another ten years
These are some of the ideas being shared as possible ways to celebrate 175 Years is a major accomplishment It provides us with the opportunity to share with our neighbors that Hiss Church has played an important role in this community since before it was named Parkville and that it remains an active congregation today Since the majority of the churchrsquos budget has been designated toward ongoing internal initiatives and external outreach programs there is a need to raise funds to support the variety of activities planned throughout this special anniversary year Please consider this opportunity to honor a past or present church member to remember a family member or to give thanks for all of Godrsquos guidance received throughout the churchrsquos journey Donations can be placed in an envelope marked 175th Anniversary Fund and placed in the offering plate
