We offer our sincere sympathy to Lois and Joe Huntzinger on the death of her brother, Ed Cooper. Ed has been on our prayer list for a while as he battled cancer. He went home to the Lord on March 14. We pray for God’s peace and healing love to comfort Lois, Joe and Ed’s family in their time of sorrow.
Those of us involved with VBS know Christine Kellow who attends Stairville UMC. Her husband, Wayne, passed away on March 26. We are so sorry for Christine and her family. May God sustain you and hold you close to his heart.
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who remain, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. — 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 (NASV)
