Bob Speirs
Bob Speirs ('06 MDiv graduate) was in the call
process when he became ill with a severe liver infection. He is recovering
slowly, but is now facing open heart surgery.
The family is in need of financial help so
when Bob is healthy again he can move on with his call to ministry.

Suggestions for Your Lenten
Journey
- Discover your own desert and spend five to 10
minutes daily in solitude for the 40 days of Lent.
- Read from Scripture slowly and be in touch with
what happens inside you.
- At the end of each day during Lent, name one way
that you were able to 'let go' in order to bring life to another.
- Pray the prayer below slowly and identify what you
need to die to so that you can have new life.
Prayer of Letting Go
Lord,
That I may let go of grudges in order to forgive
That I may let go of past hurts so that I can be healed
That I may let go of judgments in order to accept
That I may let go of pity in order to be compassionate
That I may let go of greed in order to give to those in need
That I may let go of negativity in order to be positive
That I may let go of blame so that I can affirm.
That I may let go of hate in order to love
That I may let go of control in order to serve
ENJOY YOUR TRIP!
