Prayer for Falls Baptist Church

[I just got off of the phone with Stephen VanGelderen.  A car plunged into a group of about 200 of their church members as they watched fireworks locally on Sunday evening.  Benjamin Reimers (24) was killed and Emily Reimers (25) suffered severe injuries.  They are also the children of the cousin of Gary Reimers, who spoke at our national meeting recently.  Please keep the family and the church in your prayers.  It is unclear whether the event was accidental or not. [Edit: from the article as it currently stands, it appears the incident was an accident. Pray for all involved, including the young driver.] The following in a excerpt and link to the local news coverage of the event. KES]

A 24-year-old man died and his 25-year-old sister was injured after a driver struck them in a Pick ‘n Save parking lot in Menomonee Falls following the city’s fireworks display Sunday night.
