City Of Light Anglican Churchaurora, Illinois

In the midst of the experience, I wrote this: At our weakest point we have experienced the greatest care by our church and family. We have not been able to attend services for weeks, but the church has come to us. Our pastor came to bless Mahalia and to pray for my healing, our prayer ministry leader came to serve communion and pray for us, families looked after our kids as I was taken to important doctors’ appointments, my small group came over to hold the baby so we could rest, and many of you brought us meals. It is an overwhelming sense of gratitude that wells up within me as I recall all of God’s kindness lavished upon us through these loving acts. It’s almost as if He brought us to that valley in order to show us the true character of this body of believers.
