SPECIAL THANKS TODAY FOR FRIDAY'S FUNDRAISER:

On Friday night, February 5, 2010, the Lutheran Church of the Resurrection located in Garden City, NY hosted an Art and Memorabilia auction. The proceeds from this event would be split between supporting the LIFE Church in Westbury, NY and to help support Jessica's Journey and her mounting medical bills.

We would like to thank Pastor Jeff Browning and Vicar Justin Vetrano for bringing this event to the church. We would also like to thank Cindy Scavelli and Laura Wiggens for coordinating and putting the show together. A great job was done by all!

All tickets were sold and there was a standing room only crowd. The auctioneer was humorous and he kept the night moving along. There were some truly valuable art pieces for sale and the audience enjoyed spending their money for two such worthy causes. There were also many house prizes given away. I heard that my daughter Michelle was the one who drew the names for the prizes!

I am told that my husband David bid and won a framed photo of the Beatles taken by Linda McCartney and a large framed lithograph of the Last Supper by Domenico Ghirlandaio circa the year 1479. He is a Beatles memorabilia collector - so I'm not surprised he wanted that! Many other people chose other beautiful pieces of artwork to bring home as well! A fun time was had by all and all for such good causes!

Thanks again to all our friends at Resurrection for putting together this event; and to all those who attended - Thank You from the bottom of our hearts - once again - for all you have done and continue to do for Jessica and our family - it's simply amazing and very humbling - God does work through His people!

In God's Love, Always,
The Stevens' Family*

  1. Hi,
    My name is Diane, and I was on the hospitality commitee for this auction. I am so blessed to have been asked to participate in this event. It was great to be able to share Jessica's Journey, and about The LIFE, our churches second sight. There was a great BUZZ this morning at church about "how great it was" We only pray that Jessica will be able to attend our next one.
    God Bless,
    Diane

  4. I thought I would share a message from today's sermon:

    Rest in the fact that the Good Shepherd is watching over YOU.

    Take a moment and let that sink in! HE is watching over YOU!

    The Pastor talked about when we are going through a trial how we grow weary and that this is when we realize GOD has more a hold of YOU then you have on God. We may feel like we have let go but then we realize GOD IS HOLDING tight to us.

    Walk by faith - trust God has a hold of YOU.

    One day at a time! Hang in there! Every small improvement is a victory!

    With love & prayers,
    The Turners

  5. Luke 12:6-7

    6Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

  7. Hey guys, just a hello and some kisses. I hope the bed problem is fixed so Jessica can be a little more comfortable. Sinking into your bed can't be fun. Anyway, we got no snow and the superbowl was disappointing at best. So hang in there. Love ya, Bonnie
