Bro. Jim Rinkenberger from Bluffton passed away. His funeral was Sunday in Bluffton. We are prayerful for Bro. Jaye and Sis. Peg Rinkenberger and Sis. Hannah (Matt) Grimm in their loss, and trust in the Lord’s provision to fill the void in their hearts. We are thankful for the beautiful promise that awaits each one that lives for our Saviour. “To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called the trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.” Isaiah 61:3
Bro. Don Ott is having a pacemaker replacement Tuesday morning and would covet your prayers.
