Delia Rockhill update

In the waters of your Baptism,
Jesus has called you by name, Delia
and promises to be with you always.

Baby Delia was born around 3:30 am this morning.  She was welcomed with love by her parents, and welcomed  into God's family immediately through Baptism.  She died shortly thereafter.





Baptized into Thy name most holy,
O Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
I claim a place, though weak and lowly,
Among Thy seed, Thy chosen host.
Buried with Christ and dead to sin,
Thy Spirit now shall live within.

prayers needed for the Rockhill family

Please pray for the Rockhill family.  Contractions have started, and they suspect labor is beginning.

Baby Delia,  you are loved.

By way of reminder: their baby has been diagnosed with anencephaly, a condition that is incompatible with life.  See her blog here for more information and pictures of their sweet family.

May God uphold them during this most difficult time.



It is not death to die,
To leave this weary road,
And midst the brotherhood on high
To be at home with God.


It is not death to fling

Aside this sinful dust

And rise, on strong, exulting wing,
To live among the just.

Jesus, Thou Prince of Iife,
Thy chosen cannot die;
Like Thee, they conquer in the strife
To reign with Thee on high.
