A Loss In The Church Family

Our brother-in-God Don Hatcher died in Dallas Texas on March 7th at 10:25 p.m. He had a heart attack on Thursday March 1st and the doctors turned off the life support on Monday, but Gina says he waited until he was sure that it was all right with everyone before he finally went on to Heaven. Please pray for the whole Hatcher family and lift them up for the grace of God to bring them comfort and peace. Even though a Christian never says Good Bye for the last time, it still hurts a lot to be separated by the doorway of death. Lift them all up in love.

We also need to remember Jack and "Jinx" Cleaver and their whole family. Their daughter Starla is in the Hospice center preparing for the next life. They think a few days is all she has left before the cancer makes it impossible for her spirit to dwell in her body. Please pray for all of Starla's family and lift them up to God for grace.
