Marj Friddle, wife of GCI retired pastor Jim Friddle, had surgery this week to treat colon cancer. Her doctor told her that the cancer in her colon is apparently related to the breast cancer she battled in 2001. Please pray for Marj’s healing and for encouragement for Jim and the rest of the family. Cards and notes can be sent to:

Jim and Marge were my first pastor and wife in the Seattle, Wasington congregation from 1960 until they were transferred. I was fortunate to visit them in North Carolina while a long haul truck driver in 2004. Our prayers are with you and you know that God will get you through this. Both of you hang in there — Jackie and I miss you.
Lasting and fond memories from the 60’s in Seattle to my baptism and our marriage are unforgettable as we dearly love Jim and Marj. Just last summer we shared some of those times in Orlando, especially during a social get-together when Jim ‘accidentally spilled’ some wine on me (Don). Asking if I need baptizing again after nearly 50 years, he didn’t hesitate, saying, ‘why YES.’ Marj and Jim both continue to be our warm, encouraging mentors-in-Christ. And may we extend the same to them during this trying time from Anchorage, AK.
