Announcement & Request

One of the harsh realities of life is that life ends.  What one does to prepare for that certainty is very telling; and has eternal repercussions.  Today, dear friends whom I have known for almost 20 years are facing the harsh reality of death.  Yesterday, Pastor Ronald Campbell departed this life and was immediately found in the presence of the Lord he loved and served.  He had prepared for the certainty of death.  Grieving his passing are his wife, sons, daughter, their extended families, as well as the church familiy he shepherded so faithfully in Lincoln, Maine.  In a few short hours, many will celebrate the reality of the resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth, the promised Messiah.  It is precisely because of His resurrection that the Campbell family has a blessed and certain hope of reunion with their loved one.  That certainty does not make the current reality any less traumatic.  Please keep them in your prayers.
