For those PGR members who will be meeting at the CVS parking lot, please keep in mind that a group will be coming from the Round Lake mission to pick you up.
We should be there at staging time, but just in case we aren't, please hang loose and wait for us. Feel free to call my cell 630-400-3055 to get an update.
Thanks,

A Prayer for Our Soldiers' Families
Heavenly Father, we pray for the safe return home of our soldiers from Iraq and Afghanistan. We ask that you give our military commanders and political leaders wisdom and courage to fulfill their daunting responsibility. Lord, we implore you to please remember the families of these brave men and women. Bless the wives, parents, children and siblings of our fighting forces and give them solace and comfort. If it be your will, bring their loved ones home swiftly, sound in mind and body.
We pray these things in the name of the Son, the Father and the Holy Ghost,
Amen |
