Our good friend and long-time volunteer Marty Dempsey passed into His presence Thursday, January 26, 2017. Her daughter-in-law, Thia, was with her and knew she went in peace. If there is anything of which I am sure, it is that she is there with Him, and all the Gǣcloud of witnessesGǥ.

As she asked, a Memorial Service will be held for her at the Mission. It is for her, and for the Mission guests she so dearly loved. It will be at noon, while lunch is being served so the people who knew her from the Mission will have the opportunity to be there. It will be informal and simple with Barbara Saxton saying a few words, nothing to bring, nothing beyond just people sharing in our loss and about having known Marty.
And we still need a Bible Study Teacher on Friday mornings if anyone is interested.
Verse Of The Week:
GǣAll My plans will be fulfilled for I know the end from the beginning. Gǥ
