We have learned that one of our Down to Earth preschool families recently found out that their precious one-year-old baby, Colt, has acute myeloid leukemia. The prognosis is not good at all. For him to survive and thrive with this diagnosis is truly going to take a miracle. We have added Colt and his family – parents Leslie and Forrest Shock and his older brother Forrest who is a DTE student – to our prayer list. Preschool Director Triere Boyer has asked if the Bethel community and the preschool community could join hands for a candlelight prayer vigil at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, June 25. The preschool families, the Shocks’ friends and their families will be invited, as well as all of us. The vigil has moved inside to the sanctuary. Attendees are invited to park in the upper or lower lot.

We’ve talked about how we could partner with DTE more and show them our love and compassion. This prayer vigil and our prayers for the Shock family is a perfect way to do just that.
