For over 50 years,our church was graced with the presence and guidance of Ed Blackman.\u00a0 We all felt a deep sense of loss when he recently <\/span>passed away<\/span><\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As we pray for Marge and her family, we will be continually grateful for their presence in our lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Blackmans donated some azaleas which were on display during our services on May 11.\u00a0 They were recently planted on our lawn, just outside of the sanctuary doors on the Lambs Road side. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These plants will remind us of the grace and love that God blessed us with when he made Ed such a huge part of our church family so many years ago. <\/span><\/p>\n

Surely we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses…<\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n
