Yesterday in both of our Sunday morning worship services, we remembered the Lord Jesus together by partaking of the Lord’s Supper. We also remembered three very precious people who left this world and entered into their heavenly home. Exactly one year ago today, we gathered in our sanctuary knowing that Susan Belcher had died the night before and that Austin Belcher and Carol Alvis were on life support. All we knew to do as a church family was to huddle together in prayer groups as each one of us faced the shock and grief. We worshiped together and took the Lord’s Supper. Carol Alvis breathed her last breath as we were taking the Lord’s Supper at the 11:00 service. Four teenagers came forward during the final song to publicly profess their faith in Jesus Christ. Later that week, Austin Belcher joined his mother and was welcomed into the arms of Jesus.
