I have been asked to share a message related to a former Bladen County pastor couple now retired and living in the Greensboro area. Rev. and Mrs. Darrell Copeland lived in the Elizabethtown area for 3, 4, maybe 5 years. (Pastor at Wesley’s Chapel UMC) Retired and departed, moved to the Greensboro area. My info indicates Anita suffered some type medical issue over the past weekend and is in a critical condition. She supposedly suffered from asthma and was having trouble breathing, passed out and has not regained consciousness … Friends and family continue to pray for recovery … A prayer vigil was held locally earlier this week … Late updates, not good, and no Health Power of Attorney … Keep her family in your thoughts and prayers…
Rev. Copeland assisted in North Carolina and across the nation for several years promoting capital projects … raising money for renovation and construction of churches and other related facilities.
Do you have a medical power of attorney? … Neither do we, that I am aware of … Just never thought about it.
Speaking of prayer … think our nation and the world is in need of a re-start…
Check local news elsewhere on BladenOnline … Bladen County government has been ‘hacked’, for the lack of a better word … Local and outside sources assisting…
Can’t give up … must charge forward, full speed ahead…
On a light note … recently a national financial reporter was asked to compare one issue with another … Loved his response … “Like looking for the cleanest dirty shirt in a basket.”
