 Thank you all very much for all the support you have been giving me during my journey with breast cancer. The help of God, as well as your cards, calls, and prayers, have meant a lot to me as I navigated my trip during treatment for this disease these past months. I have finished radiation treatments and now am in a holding pattern, waiting to see what the medical oncologist and surgeon will say. Blessings to you all. Jane Gibson
 Pastor Ray, Pastor Chuck and Christ Lutheran friends – Thank you for your continued prayers for Brian and Lauren Frank. It has been a month since the accident. Prayers have proven to bring Brian and Lauren to this day. Brian is currently in a long term care facility as he makes small and positive steps in his recovery. Brian completed his college internship at
the Orland Park Police Department and later was employed as a community Service
Officer. His heart and passion has been in law enforcement. To follow his progress and specific prayer needs please go to 4TH PATH – Brian Frank Strong. Thank you again for your prayers. Angela Burman
