Going Home

A dear saint went home to be with the Lord this morning. She was looking forward to it for some time. I'm sure we will refer to it as a "Homegoing Celebration" (she would like that). This woman had such faith that she would praise the Lord through song while in the hospital even though she knew that she probably would be leaving this life soon. The grace of God will do that for a person.

Jesus had gone away to prepare a place for her and now it is finished. One of my most special memories of her is her shouting. She'd get happy in the Lord at church and would shout. Some would look at this strangely but I look at it as precious. You see, she had something to shout about.

It truly is a "Homegoing Celebration."

Way to go Sis. Stanley!

Youth Group

Hi everyone,

I am very sorry I haven't kept my blog up to date (no excuse). I want to invite you to check out our new youth website. Youth Pastor Roger Gurganus is doing a great job with our youth and if you don't have a church to go to we would love for you to bring your youth to be a part of our youth group (7th grade through 12th).

Have a blessed day.

'Til the storm passes,

Pastor Gary
