Hey Hope Summit Family,
First off, I would like to thank you all on behalf of my wife and family for the outpouring of support we have received from you before, during, and after Miranda’s surgery. While Miranda was in surgery, I spent most of my time responding to calls and messages. We love our church family.
We have been asked multiple times how people can help. First, we want you to know that financially speaking, God has already provided with all we need. He has been faithful through the church, Miranda’s other job at Teen Hope Ministries, and other gifts.
Second, my mother is here for a couple of weeks and then soon after, Miranda’s mom is coming for a couple of weeks as well. We are well taken care of for meals so far. But we have some people ready to start a meal train if needed.
In the mean time, there are some important things you can do. First is prayer. The Matteson’s believe in the power of prayer. Please pray for Miranda’s pain. Pray for peace in our home in the hearts of our family, especially our children.
Second, Miranda’s loves cards and hand-written notes. She has a basket next to her bed to pull out messages and notes that give encouragement. You can mail them to 1338 36th St SW Rochester 55902.
Third, gift me patience if you are needing me for anything or wanting to communicate with me, especially about church business. As a Pastor, my priorities for my relationships are: God first, family second, and church third. We are adjusting to a new normal and there are many things that she can’t do alone yet. But I will be back into the swing of things soon.
Thank you again for all the love and support we have received. We love our church family more and more as the years pass.
- Jeff
