Raymond Church of the Nazarene

Plea To Your Church and Praying Saints Adaline, my granddaughter, is 9 years old and facing a kidney transplant. She is in stage 5 kidney failure with a rare kidney disease. She's a little girl with a big, sweet heart. She's been saved and baptized. She had a birthday yesterday and had to spend it at Children's Hospital in Birmingham. The doctors called to tell her she needs to come on August 3rd and 4th for more tests, at which time she will go on the transplant list. All I'm asking is, no begging; please pray!!! This is a Bible-reading, praying little girl, but now she needs your prayers. I have one more request. Please send my baby a card, a note, or anything that will let her know she has people everywhere praying for her. Churches with outreach programs or children's Sunday school classes, please send her any encouragement. I want her to have cards to fill her walls and make her smile. Please share with anyone you know. This precious little Child of God loves her Jesus. She sings and plays the violin in Church. I want to show my granddaughter that there are people all over our country who believe in the power of prayer! I would like to thank you in advance for your kindness. Please send them to my address, and I promise they will be delivered straight to her.

My parents, Ted and Lois Norcross were instrumental in the founding of Raymond Church of the Nazarene around 1954-55. I am Rev. Jim Norcross, their son. God called me to preach in 1957. i graduated in 1959 from Raymond High. Unable to find the money to go to college, I joined the Army to get the G.I. Bill. I then attended Nazarene Bible College in Colorado Springs. There I met my beautiful bride Darlene. We were married in Denver in 1963. I began pastoring in 1967 and was ordained in 1972. I had the privilege of preaching at Raymond Nazarene Church and meeting Pastor Rocky in 2009 when I went home for our 50th Class Reunion. I still carry with me a lot of fond memories of growing up in that wonderful congregation. I am 84 now and soon will go to spend eternity with my Darlene and my Savior Jesus Christ. I pray that you will come join us there.
