CMCA Family Needing Support

On Monday, August 13, fourth-grade CMCA student Anthony Studebaker's father, Michael Studebaker, passed away suddenly. The Studebaker Family is in need of prayers and assistance, including help with an impending move, meals, and financial support. (The family is in the process of closing a home sale and was counting on a dual income to make ends meet.) In response to the family's needs, the Michael Studebaker Memorial Fund has been established at Wells Fargo Bank. Please consider providing financial support if you are able by donating to the fund at any Wells Fargo branch. People wishing to provide meals for the family or help with other family needs may contact Sheri Heath at 719-527-1069 or Kisha Bishop at 719-337-7436.

 

A memorial service for Mike Studebaker will be held Saturday, September 1, at 3:00 PM at the New Apostolic Church off Bradley Road.
