prayer request

Joanne and Lou sent us the following prayer request. You may or may not know them, as they have returned to our church family a few months ago after several years in northern Calif. You may have heard Lia's adorably squeaky shoes as she ambles around after 2nd service. Please stop and pray for 2 year old (I think she's 2) Lia's surgery for cleft palate tomorrow. Joanne writes:

Lia will be having her surgery this Friday the 19th. We would appreciate prayers for this procedure. We will be checking her in at 6:30AM at the Kaiser in West LA. She is first on the schedule and will stay overnight. Lindsey will spend the weekend with my sister and this will be the first time she has been away from both Lou and I. We are confident that Lia will do fine. She is tough and a fighter, I'm the one who will need the anesthesia to calm me down! Thank you again for your prayers and support.
