~ Bill Thomas shared the following – Lo Detrich was helicoptered in intensive care to St. Louis this past weekend; she is dealing with complications with pneumonia. Now at twenty seven, Lo has endured two double-lung and one kidney transplant in her remarkable life. Lo has served as an avid life-time fund money raiser for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, including serving a one year honor as their national representative in her late teens (a wonderful speaker, I might add!). Her parents, Terry & Don Detrich, taught the Maranatha Class a few years ago, after writing The Spirit of Lo, An Ordinary Family’s Extraordinary Journey. Please extend prayers for Lo, her family and her many friends across the country.
Prayer
Paula Scott led us in a beautiful Lenten prayer.
