This past week one of our confirmands experienced something terrible. Angelo's dad died in a motorcycle accident (the picture to the left is of his father). Its so sad, and a horrible thing for someone to have to go through at such a young age, so please keep Angelo, his mom Dawn and his step-father Jeremy in your prayers. These three have been a part of our church over the past six months and can use the support of the church in this tragic situation. If you have thoughts or ideas on how we might be able to support this family please let me know. Think about what you might want someone to do if you experienced a real tragedy in your own life. If you come up with anything give me a call or text me.
Angelo is going to read Revelation 21 at the funeral today. It says "‘See, the home of God is among mortals. He will dwell with them; they will be his peoples, and God himself will be with them; he will wipe every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; mourning and crying and pain will be no more, for the first things have passed away." Know that in tragedy God brings healing.
Angelo's father was a police officer for Harvey Cedars.
