Early this morning I joined some friends at the hospital to say goodbye to Mary Haynes. She brought in the New Year by waking up to new life.
Mary was introduced to our church by her grandson Dan. It's been rewarding to watch the spiritual growth that's taken place in the last few years of her life. I'm really proud of the way she committed to discipleship, including a commitment to ministry and a small group.
Most people I meet assume that our church is made up of all young people. While the largest percentage of our people are in their thirties and below, we've actually been blessed with a healthy generational blend. I'm glad we can be building people at every stage of life.
THANK YOU PASTOR BRAD for being there with our family on this very sad day. we miss her so much she was a great person i will be back to visit the church when i am in town visiting my mom and dad and again thanks again
