Ms. Bonnie Klockenga was honored  in February with a surprise book signing reception in the Family Room.  Unbeknownst to her, a dear friend had compiled Bonnie's daily devotions and published them in a book titled, "Bonnie's Blessings".

This gathering allowed those who have been touched by her daily devotions to purchase her book and share how her daily scriptures have impacted their lives.

Feel free to purchase her daily devotion book on Amazon.  In honor of Bonnie and a ministry that is near and dear to her heart, all proceeds from the sale of this book will go to New Horizon Christian School.

Ledger Whisenand is a 5 year old in Ms. Peggy’s preschool class at New Horizon/GCC.  Ledger was diagnosed with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) before he was born. Basically his left ventricle had stopped growing. Ledger had to operate life with only half of a working heart. There is no cure for HLHS, just multiple surgeries at different stages of life to prolong his heart function. He had his last planned surgery, The Fontan, in April of 2022, which led to a 113 day hospital admission and multiple complications including a stroke.
June of 2023 Ledger was diagnosed with protein losing enteropathy. His Fontan was failing and on October 3rd, 2023 Ledger was admitted to start a heart transplant work up. What we originally associated with adjusting to preschool, was actually his heart becoming weaker. He was listed for a heart transplant on November 17, 2023.
Ledger has been inpatient at Cardinal Glennon for over 130 days now. We like to say we are truly just hanging out even though it’s not ideal. He is still happy, playful, silly and doesn’t complain about his circumstances. Ledger constantly displays what true patience really is. We know God has a plan and we have to continue to trust Him.  


On April 20th, Ledger received a new heart.
