Pastor Ron Greene and his wife, Lyna Michel, thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for all your prayers and kindnesses during this time of sorrow, with the death on October 22 of Lyna’s 57-year-old sister, Meredith Rose, followed shortly by the shocking death on November 2 of Lyna’s 36-year-old son, Brad Michel. We will depart next week for a celebration of Brad’s life on Nov. 18, and return for Sunday morning church services on November 27. I am especially grateful to our worship leaders and administrative leaders for carrying forward in our absence.
