We offer our sincere sympathy to Gene and Janice Broyan and their families at the passing of Gene’s brother, James, on December 27, 2012. May God’s love sustain you and strengthen you in your time of grief.
We also offer our care and prayer to Pastor Penny on the passing of her cousin, Nikki, who lived in Tennessee. Pastor Penny was able to be with her family before Nikki passed away on January 25. We ask God to grant you peace and comfort.
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)
