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!
