Thank you for all the continued prayers.

We will continue to provide weekly updates in eNEWS on Gage's status and here is how we are St. Peter Strong...
-Praying for a speedy recovery, and God's peace.
-Sending expressions of encouragement to Gage as well as restaurant/gas gift cards to the family. They are driving about 90 miles round trip each day to visit the hospital so as a church it would be great if we could help ease that burden for them.

Items can be sent to their home address of 13417 Copper Canyon, Haslet 76052 or you can also drop items off at church where we have a "Gage" table setup in the atrium.
