It is with heavy hearts, yet with hope-filled joy, that we share the news of Susan Little's entering into her eternal reward on Saturday, June 22, 2024.
For those who are unfamiliar with our church's history, Susan and Jack Little were the founding pastors of our church, originally called Grace Chapel of the Coast beginning with a home fellowship in October, 1994, and moving to a Sunday morning worship gathering in 1995 (she didn't take the title "pastor" but she definitely did the work of a pastor in every sense of the word). She was a phenomenal and loving leader, especially in the areas of children's and women's ministry. She was multitalented: a gifted teacher of the Word, a worship leader, and artist, an equipper of the saints in Spirit led ministry, an administrator, prophetically gifted, and more. She had an infectious laugh that filled the room with joy.
Susan won a battle with breast cancer some years back, but the cancer returned to her lung recently. After this latest diagnosis, she finished her race quickly. She was surrounded by her 3 sons, their wives, and their children these last weeks and months, and she exuded joy and peace right up to the end. Her home was filled with her children's and grandchildren's guitar playing and singing throughout these last weeks.
Susan's wish was that we would celebrate her life here at Grace Vineyard. Please join us on Saturday, July 13, at 11am.
