Melanie Miller

I am sure most of you are aware of Melanie's fight for life. I do not know Melanie but I do know her father and several of her uncles. Ben, my brother-in-law, is one of these uncles. I received an email this morning concerning a prayer vigil. I was pleasantly surprised so see that the hospital would allow this.
Here’s an invitation to all who follow this blog. We got permission from the hospital to have a prayer vigil for Mel and the family outside around the hospital. To all who are interested we will meet at the hospital tomorrow evening January 25, 9:00 p.m. (Friday). There are some specifics we would like for you to follow. We want to make this a time of prayer not a time of socializing. When you get there let’s not have any talking to each other after you leave your vehicles till you get back in your vehicles. Meet outside the visitors entrance of the hospital, sign your names in a book provided. (So Mel and the family can be encouraged by all who participated.) Then start forming a circle around the hospital maybe about 5-10 ft between each person, when you get to an entrance go on either side of the entrance. ( They don’t want us to block any entrances.) Bring candles if you care to. Because of limited parking we encourage you to car pool. The Central congregation and others who would like to meet us there will meet at the church at 7:30 p.m. We will plan to take the big bus and the mini bus plus other vehicles as needed.
We encourage you to cancel previous plans if possible. We’re hoping to literally be able to pretty much surround the hospital if possible. Everyone is welcome near and far.( Don’t forget to dress warm it may be quite cold.) Our plans are to start leaving again around 10:00 p.m.
We would also encourage you to fast and pray tomorrow. This can be a way for those of you from a distance or who are sick or for whatever reason can join us and you can also join us in praying between 9:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. We appreciate your participation.
