In our prayers:
We pray for a speedy recovery for Sumi as she undergoes chemo therapy.
We pray for restored health for Terry DeLong as he recovers in hospital in Calgary.
Terry was in Calgary cheering for his granddaughter Lily Hemlow as she participated in the Canadian Legion National Youth Track Championships.
From Nancy: Lily was amazing in her track events. Out of 4 events, she had 1 silver medal – in the 1200m. 2 bronze- in the 2000m and the team medley relay. Also a 6th place finish in the 800m. She got to show off her medals to Terry. He was so proud of her. In each race, she set her own new personal best time! Congratulations Lily!
