Brother Wayne was an active, but quiet leader at Washington Street serving as a deacon for a number of years and overseeing our Furniture program as a part of our benevolence ministries. His heart for the poor and the hurting was evident in all he did... as well as his love for his family and his church family. He is going to be greatly missed! -Jim

Tonight's Meal @ Washington Street Canceled

All,

Due to the need for us to be with the Smith family tonight (Wednesday) for brother Wayne’s visitation, we are canceling the Wednesday Night Meal at 6pm.  Pizza will be on hand for those who don’t get the message and for our youth group kids who have come to count on it.

 

We apologize for the late notice, but know that everyone will understand as we all want to hold up Jennifer & all of the family in our encouragement through this most difficult time.

 

Blessings,

The Wed Evening Meal Team

Prayers needed for dear families

We regret to announce that brother Wayne Smith passed away early this afternoon. Our prayers continue to be with Jennifer and his whole family at this time. Higgins Funeral Home will be handling the arrangements... we'll post them here when they are made.

Also- be in prayer for sister Faye Barhorst who continues to be in very serious condition at the Jewish Hospital in Louisville. They are facing difficult decisions together.

I'd also appreciate prayers for my grandfather, Boyd Crowe, who is not doing well after suffering a stroke three weeks ago. He is in Chattanooga.

Thanks for praying,

Jim Black
