Death has touched another Christian family. Again a family has gone to the valley of the shadows of death and left a loved one there. Though they returned heartbroken and with a void space, there beloved has stepped into the heaven of life, where there is no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, nor pain and suffering.

We are saddened to announce the passing of our brother and former member Judge Harris, who was called home, where "it is well" in that better place. Funeral arrangements are pending and will be made known as they become available.
