Prayers for Preacher Greg, Multiple fractures in leg's arm's rib's and jaw's. Condition Critical but stable. He needs all the Prayer We can Give, especially these first few days.

Please pray for the swelling in the brain to go down and for Greg's collapsed lung as well. This congregation invites us frequently for special events and Pastor Greg is a true delight.

The SUV crossed into Greg's side of road near the Mega Maze on Williamson Rd. Very close to the by-pass. I don't have any details on the other driver. I would think the SUV sustained far less damage.

Pray for Greg, His Family and Extended Family.

We were supporters of SPLOST and it did not pass. Pike County Vounteers do not stay at the station 24 hours. Yes fulltime paid Barnesville and Lamar County firefighters with all the fire house manned 24 hours and 7 days. Barnesville and Lamar County firefighters staying at the station 24 hours and 7 days. Firefighters save 3 or 5 minutes.

The accident was in Spalding county. Your post is irrelevant and insensitive.

My prayers to Greg. I have not met the man but we have waived at each other several times as we would pass on the road, him in his Karmann Ghia and me in mine.

While I have never met this pastor, My parents, as well as ourselves when we lived in Pike were members of this Church. We will keep Greg, his family, friends and CHurch family in our prayers. God Bless all of them for a speedy recovery and praying he'll be able to be home for the holidays! The Antich's

THIS IS FROM THR GRIFFIN DAILY NEWS JUST SO ALL YOU RETARDS CAN STOP FIGHTING ABOUT WHERE IT WAS INCLUDING THE INSENSITIVE ONE WHO POSTED ABOUT THE SPLOST! God Bless this family and watch over them as we send our healing prayers.

“It was a three-vehicle wreck in front of Mega Maze on (Georgia) Highway 362,” said trooper J.T. McMillan. “The Griffin Police Department had gotten a call about an unsafe driver in the Broad Street area. He (the unsafe driver) had made it through town when the crash occurred.”

Greg and his wife Ruth are amazing people.
We have been a part of Williamson UMC for 11 years and he has been
so amazing at our church. This has been a horrible
ordeal for everyone. Please continue to pray for him,

The latest news I've heard from my Mom who has been to Grady
a few times, is that the swelling in his brain has gone down, and
things are looking up.
I believe that prayers are being answered.
