Faith helps power injured cyclist's recovery

My friend Mike Cimini was in an accident on March 12th where his spinal cord was severed just below the rib cage. He's in rehab right now learning how to use a wheelchair, as he says, the doctors don't the final word on whether he walks again or not, God does!

Yesterday the story of Mike and his wife Karen's faith was on the front page of the Hampshire Gazette. Today he's featured in the online version, although in order to read the article you must subscribe to the Gazette. If you click on this link today (Wednesday), you can see a short part of the article.

Next week there will be a corporate time of fasting and prayer to pray for Mike's complete healing. Talk to Christina Stauber for detials.

Rehearsal Dinner

Rehearsal & Dinner

Here are the pictures from the wedding rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. Click on the first photo to see the entire album. Most photos by Ann Marie Walts, a few are from relatives. Sanjoy, our pastor, did a great job of organizing everyone and taking the stress off of us! From the time the rehearsal started til the end of reception the next day the only thing I had to focus on was smiling and looking great for my husband. :) After months of planning, everything finally came together. Thanks to everyone who helped out, we couldn't have done it without you!

So how long are we gonna have to stand up here for tomorrow?
