Prayer Request for Astronaut Higginbotha
December 5, 2006
Dear Soror,
Many of you have recently circulated or received the email note about our Delta Soror Joan E. Higginbotham, a NASA Astronaut, who will be a member of the Space Shuttle team that will launch on this Thursday, December 7, 2006. I am writing to ask a very special request. I ask that you join Deltas throughout the world as we lift, in prayer, Soror Higginbotham and all the astronauts and scientists involved with this space mission. We pray that they experience a safe and successful voyage. Soror Higginbotham has been in constant communication with me over the past few months and is taking a banner featuring our National Presidents into space with her.
The Space Shuttle is scheduled to launch at 9:35 p.m. EST from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Thursday to embark upon a 12-day mission. Traveling aboard the “Discovery” spaceship, the Space Shuttle Mission STS 116 is scheduled to return on December 19, 2006 at 4:35 p.m.
Let your prayers begin now and continue until God’s guiding light returns the space crew safe and sound, bringing them home in time for a joyous holiday. Thank you, sorors, for your earnest response to this important request.
Sisterly and sincerely,
Louise A. Rice
Louise A. Rice, Ph.D.
National President
