Update

It has been a few days since I last posted. I have listed several things below that have taken place since Sunday.

Continuing in Crisis Call for Youth

This week I have already made five crisis calls from Tues-Thurs with Friday to go. These youth have been between the ages of 10-17. The needs are great for our youth and families today. I covet anyone's prayers for grace, strength and stamina as I serve these very needy children.

Helen Beasley Funeral

Sister Helen Beasley passed on to be with the Lord this past Monday. She was a faithful Christian and member of the East Nashville Church of God of Prophecy, where I pastored from July, 1998 until the end of July 2002. She served as clerk and treasurer for many years and also served as Sunday School Teacher and worked with the youth in other ministries. She is survived by Deacon Auda Binkley Beasley, sons Raymond Beasley, Robert Beasley and Eric Beasley and a daughter Sherry. She is survived by several granchildren and great grandchildren.

There were many visitors who came to the funeral and filled the Springhill Funeral Home Chapel to capacity. Former District Overseer of the Nashville area, L. E. Butler and Pastor Bob Hansen of the East Nashville Church of God of Prophecy officiated the funeral. Bishop Eugene Weakley former State Overseer of Tennessee attended along with his wife, Juanita. Sister Joyce Cowan, former State Treasurer of the Churches of God of Prophecy in Tennessee was present. I saw four former pastors present, Don Hall, Nelson Raeburn, George McDowell and me. There were many friend's and acquaintances there as well. Eric's pastor sang several songs which were great. The service was very special. Sister Beasley is resting in the peace and joy of the Lord. She will be greatly missed.
