About MaryO
Cushing's and kidney cancer (renal cell carcinoma) patient, founder, owner and webmaster of Cushing's Help and Support, web designer, piano teacher and mom.
I am a Cushing's patient who has dealt with Cushing's symptoms since 1983 (or earlier) and the aftereffects of pituitary surgery since 1987.
Because I had very little support for my symptoms, diagnosis and surgery, I decided to try to make things a little better for other patients and started a support site called Cushing's Help and Support in 2000. The site has grown to astronomical numbers. This disease isn't as rare as doctors have told us!
In 2006, I was also diagnosed with kidney cancer (renal cell carcinoma). My left kidney and adrenal gland were removed. Having an adrenal gland removed complicates my post-Cushing's symptoms.
I am not planning to have any more rare and unusual diseases.
My entire bio to date can be found here: http://www.cushings-help.com/maryos_story.htm
But, enough of that - it's not always about Cushing's, or even Cancer. This one is about Life!
SING ‘N CELEBRATE ~ JANUARY 12 AT 7:30 PM: A one-time change of date and time due to a need to coordinate with FACETS and our guests’ preparation for the evening. Please plan to attend and welcome our guests to our church.
Also, we need to extend a big Pender Welcome to our SNC’s new Worship Leader, Diane Wilhite, and our new praise band, JC Reigns!
The theme for this evening of worship will be forgiveness with some reminders of how we can forgive the way our Father forgives us.
The fact that forgiveness does not depend on our actions or attitudes will be made clear by our three storytellers: Bob Baumgartner, Mark Atwood and Ken Dieffenderfer.
Rev Kev will share in our short message. As a discovery God has placed at our disposal, forgiveness is worth making because none of us is in a position to live without it!!

Series: Who Am I?
The question that all of us struggle with. Are we defined by what we do? The roles we play? The people we associate with? Who am I?
January 5 – Why We’re Here – John 1:1-18
Why are we here? What is our purpose? Jesus said, “We are light.” In the midst of the darkness we are light for the world. Look around you. It is easy to see the darkness. How can we make a difference?
