Please Pray for these Families:
Please pray for the Brooke and Tony Biel, GNVDC Summer #3. Brooke, wife of Tony, has been battling off and on with cancer and is soon coming to an end. As of December 29th, Brooke was admitted to Hospice care. Tony has requested that you DO NOT visit Brooke at Hospice, she has had a steady stream of family and friends to see her and she is worn out. Please pray for Brooke and Tony to draw strength and comfort from the presence of the Holy Spirit during these final days they have together here on earth. Pray for our spring rectors and their families, Laura Fleeger-Koenig, GNVDC #31 and Scott Myers, GNVDC #31. Pray for our women's and men's team #50 that is forming as well as the participants.
