Kick it with Charla

Snail Mail, Bracelets and Meal Deliveries, Oh My

Kara here… popping in to share the treatment schedule and a few ways we can show up for Charla.

Charla’s next chemo treatments are scheduled for May 9 and May 30, and then surgery in mid-June. More chemo will likely follow.

Robert has ordered hundreds of “Pray for Charla” bracelets. Come and grab some for your people. They are available in a basket in the Creekside room at Snowmass Chapel, and will be available for you to take with you at church on Sunday as well!

If you would like to help by grocery shopping or dropping off a meal for Charla and Tim, Tanja Wojcik is coordinating the calendar for that. You will be provided with a grocery list and reimbursed if you shop. If you would like to help with a meal, guidance will be given on foods that jive best with chemo and help fight cancer. Please contact Tanja via email to offer to help: wojciktanja29@gmail.com

And finally, keep that snail mail coming! Charla would love to hear from you. You can find her address at the bottom of this website.

Much love!

    I’ve been getting these emails from an “anti-aging” website and they share the corniest yet cute and, yes, funny jokes. Laughter is the best medicine.
    Love to you Charla and Tim,

    I used to have a job cutting vegetables all day.
    It was hard but the celery was good.

    And…

    Why are all the other vegetables afraid of celery?
    Because celery stalks!

      Ellen, I agree!! Here’s a Nobel Prize joke that I ran across today….

      Knock knock.

      Who’s there?

      Nobel.

      Nobel who?

      There’s no bell…that’s why I knocked.

      🙂
      Love to Charla!!!

    Charla, ever wonder if anyone really cares about you? You are now in possession of that answer. Count yourself rich in love. A great multitude gathers with no thought except to let you know in every way they can. I stand with them. xo

About Charla

In March of 2023 our dear Charla was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer which had spread to the lymph nodes. Charla is a beloved friend and pastor to so many. In an effort to keep all of those who care about her in the loop, and lighten the communication load that would inevitably fall on Charla and her family, we have established this blog. Please post your comments of positivity, prayer, encouragement, and inspiration on this site, or mail encouraging messages via snail mail.

Prior to this diagnosis Charla had tossed around the idea of starting a podcast. With a background in PR and TV, years of expertise teaching and writing on parenting and other topics, a Doctorate in Ministry from Duke University, and 13 years under her belt of co-pastoring and leading a church, Charla has a deep well of wisdom to draw from and “kick around” in conversation in a podcast setting. We can’t wait to “kick it” (slang for “hang out”) with Charla in the years ahead and hear her declare triumph over this diagnosis.

For now, we join Charla in solidarity, with love and constant prayer, as she kicks cancer out of her body.

Kick it with Charla. And lift her up in prayer.
