HONORING SENIOR MEMBER BONNIE (CROSSNO) CURTIS

Today's scripture is found in Psalms 37:25 I was young and now am old, yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. God is faithful to His children. In the 30 plus years that I have been in ministry, God has always supplied every need. He will not forsake His children and He will meet the needs - not every whim and want - of His children.

BONNIE (CROSSNO) CURTIS

This past Saturday we visited Sister Bonnie (Crossno) Curtis. Today we are giving honor to her as one of our senior members. Sister Bonnie is 85 years young and says she has been a member of the church about 50 years. She remembers coming to the church first when Brother Beacham was the Pastor. She remembers when Brother Leonard Hamm was there and built the sanctuary over the basement sometime in the mid to late 50's. Sister Bonnie was married to the late Ebert Crossno (a member of the church for about 35 years) and to the late Wyman Curtis. Sister Bonnie said, "Both my husbands were very good to me and loved the Lord very much." Sister Bonnie is not able to come to church but she loves the Lord. She says, "I am looking forward to being in heaven with Jesus and my loved ones who have gone on." Sister Bonnie has six children - four already in heaven and two living. She has several grandchildren and some great-granchildren. There is a picture of one of her great-grandaughters behind her in the picture above. It is Kevin Crossno's first child. We have a great time of fellowship and prayer when we visit her in the Huntingdon Rehabilitation Center.

Sister Karen and I took Communion to Sister Bonnie and served it to her. She rejoiced in the Lord for some time as tears flowed down her face saying, "Thank you Jesus over and over." WE LOVE YOU SISTER BONNIE.

Sister Bonnie and Sister Karen have a humorous moment when I asked them to say glory hallelujah before taking the picture.
