Dear Brother Dunstan,
Thank you for being the Companions’ key connection to Br Arne and for being present for him.  Although I never met him, I feel like I know him as a ‘fellow seeker’, elder, and CSL member.  Please include my prayers for him and his niece as you reassure him we are thinking of him, especially during these difficult days.
In Christ,
Sister Julian

She was taken to a local hospital, and then airlifted to another hospital with a stroke unit. They both live in an apartment building 2 blocks from the church, and Br. Arne walks to services with a walker. He mentioned how much he misses going to church, as do we all.
