Your help is still needed.

Pat and Janna are continuing their recovery from the auto accident they were involved in. Pat is home recuperating with the help of friends and family. Janna remains in rehab awaiting 2 more surgeries on her foot. If you are able, please make time to go by and visit Janna. Friendly faces and good conversation will help lift her spirits during this incredibly difficult road to recovery. Janna is currently at Lifecare, 6201 Overton Ridge Blvd., FTW 76132 Room 130.

Janna's niece, Sarah, has updated the CareNow site with the latest information. Please use the link below to access the CareBridge site, click on "ways to help" and click on planner. Please schedule a visit soon! If you are unable to visit, prayers for healing are always welcome!

Most gracious comforter, 

We pray to you this day to remind us that you have called us individually and as a people as your children. That collectively we make up the body of the living church and no one is above the other, but we are equal.

Open our hearts, our minds and our spirits to all you would have us do and remind us that when Jesus said, “do this in remembrance of me,” it was an invitation to live all ways like Him. That we should love all, as Jesus did. Remind us, that with every chance meeting, we have the opportunity to leave an impression that could be life changing.  

In these troubled times, guide us to be the agents of change you wish us to be, to lift each other up. May we open our ears to hear each other, open our eyes that we may see the beauty of each of our sibling’s souls and may our tongues only tell truth – Your truth.  

In your many holy names,
Amen
