Last night, our church family experienced the profound loss of a cherished member. We are deeply humbled to have shared in the journey of life with him as a part of our congregation. His presence will be deeply missed, especially the joy he brought to our services and the conversations that followed, filled with passion for fishing and Dolphins NFL football.
Though his absence will be felt, we find solace in knowing he is now reunited with his
wife, Mrs. Terrie, and sitting in the divine presence of Jesus.
We know Pastor David will miss discussing the ups and downs of the Dolphins upcoming foorball season with him. ☺️
Please keep SkipLeah Robinson and the rest of their family in your prayers.
