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!
Pender’s Children’s Council & our American Heritage Girls are collecting toys for Operation Christmas Child. Bags for items will be distributed to our Sunday School classes.
Assistance is needed with shipping the boxes abroad which costs $7.00 per box. Samaritan’s Purse works with local churches & ministry partners to deliver the gifts and share the life-changing Good News of Jesus Christ.
Please make checks payable to Pender United Methodist Church and state in the Memo line “Operation Christmas Child ” and place in the offering plate/basket by Sunday, November 10th.
If you have any questions, please contact Cherie Kronimus.

Series: Being A Good Steward
Nov. 10 – Sermon 51 – The Good Steward – Luke 16:2
We are called to be stewards. A steward is one who does not own what he/she has but is one who cares for what the Master has entrusted to him/her. How are you doing with what God has given you of His resources? You do know there is an accounting for all stewards don’t you?
Nov. 17 – It Takes A Village – 2 Corinthians 8:1-7
The work of the Kingdom is not what one person does but what we all do together. The church at Corinth knew that individually the task and the need before them was to big for anyone to make a real difference. It took ALL of them. You are a part of the VILLAGE. Together we can do the great things of God
Nov. 24 – What A Difference ONE can Make – John 6:1-13
I am ONE but I am ONE. One person purposed in their heart with the passion of God can change the world. One gift made out of gratitude multiplies when placed in the Savior’s hands. One small amount can feed the world. What is your part in making a difference?
