A letter from Knox Oakville,
Good Morning Fellow Presbyters,
I am writing this email at the request of Sean Foster, our Clerk of Presbytery.
By
now many of you will have heard that Sean and Bonnie Foster's son,
Matthew (age 2 1/2 years) was diagnosed with Leukaemia last week.
Matthew is currently in hospital undergoing treatment, which includes
receiving chemotherapy. He is likely to be hospitalized for at least
six weeks, but this could be longer, depending on how well he responds
to treatment.
Clearly this has come as a
devastating blow to Sean and Bonnie, along with their other two
children, Erin and Shannon. Sean has asked me to contact you to ask for
your prayers. He has created a blog, which can be accessed at the
following link www.caringbridge.org/visit/matthewseanfoster.
Sean is going to keep this blog updated with progress reports, and
there is also a facility whereby you can leave comments. As you can
appreciate the family have a lot to contend with, and while they covet
your prayers, they have asked that for the moment contact me limited to
your responses on the blog.
In the days, weeks,
and months that lie ahead the Foster Family are going to need our
continued support, and I am sure there will be lots of practical ways in
which we can do that. In the meantime please pray for healing and
wholeness for Matthew, and for courage and strength for Sean and Bonnie,
Erin, and Shannon.
Yours in Christ,
Mike Marsden
Knox, Oakville
