Prayer Request–Join Us Please

screen-capture
I sent out an email to many of you, but had the thought that the best way to reach many more people is right here.  Bill and Heather are fellow members at our church and Heather sang a duet with me in the Christmas cantata (pictured to the left).  I will simply paste the email sent out from our pastor.

Heather gave birth this morning at 5:30 a.m. to their son, Simon.  She is not doing well after the delivery—very low blood pressure and seizures.  She was quickly taken, we think, to ICU.  Their son, Simon, is doing well.  He is 4 ½ pounds.  They are at St. Johannes.
Bill asks that we get prayer chains going for them.   I know you will join in praying for her and asking others to pray also.

If I know the community of people who stop by here once in awhile, I know you will join us in praying for this family.

Dear God,

Thank You for the new life, in Simon, you have given Bill and Heather.  We pray you keep him warm in your arms and allow the healing necessary for his premature body to thrive in this world.  We pray Your healing hands on Heather….that you give her peace of mind and comfort that all things are good in Your hands.  We pray that they seek You for this comfort, that their faith in You will grow in this circumstance.  Be with Bill and their other 2 daughters during this time, Lord.  We pray for them, peace and confidence in Your plan.
Cover this family, Lord, in Your Holy prescence.
In Jesus name we pray,
Amen!

    We are in prayer for Heather. We believe that "By His Stripes, We Are Healed", and we claim this victory in the mighty name above all names, Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God! Be healed Heather, in Jesus mighty Name!
    Be Richly Blessed,

    Steve & Trachena Muchnick

    I am so glad to hear there is improvement in Heather's condition, and that little Simon is holding his own.. I will also continue to pray for them.

    Great encouragement that they are doing OK … I'll remember to pray throughout tomorrow that they continue to improve.

    i've been going around to all the bloggers in your little community to plug a new website/blog/city-unifier and don't think I'm going to pass you up.

    UPDATE: Heather and Simon have been transferred to the military hospital in Landstuhl. Both are stable, but Heather will need to be in ICU for a few days and Simon in NICU due to his low birth weight and low blood sugar.

    Your continued prayers are appreciated.
