A message from Pastor Larry Patrick
Church family and dear friends,
I’m reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for your continued prayers for my granddaughter, Ava Gibson. Many of you know Ava not only as our church pianist, but as a bright, loving young woman who pours her heart into everything she does. Yesterday, she was involved in a serious car accident and was taken to Cabell-Huntington Hospital in West Virginia.
Ava is in stable condition, and we are thankful for that blessing. Still, she has a long journey ahead and when she begins the healing and recovery process. Our family has felt every emotion imaginable in the last day, but we are holding tight to our faith and trusting God to guide her through step by step.
We’ve received hundreds of messages asking about Ava, and I want you to know how much that means to us. Your love, concern, and prayers have wrapped around our family like a blanket, and we cannot begin to express our gratitude. Every call, every message, and every prayer has been felt.
We will share updates as we are able. In the meantime, please continue to lift Ava up in prayer, as well as the medical team caring for her and our whole family. We’re believing for strength, healing, and brighter days ahead.
Thank you all, and may God bless each of you.
— Pastor Larry Patrick, Lakefront Church of God
