Pastor Greg Helman (right) of Dillsburg UB church sends this update about his daughter Greta, who was diagnosed with a brain tumor. He writes:

“My daughter, Greta Helman, was operated on in May to remove a tumor the size of a fifty-cent piece. By God’s grace, it was found to be benign. Greta’s recovery time was very short and she has been leading our praise band in worship since early June. My family would like to thank everyone who prayed for Greta. God bless you all.”
