HOMEGOING CELEBRATION OF JAMES (BILL) HALL

The homegoing celebration of James Bill Hall was conducted this morning at 10 am. Family and several friends attended. Brother Hall is now in the presence of the Lord. He will be greatly missed. While this was a difficult time for the family and friends, it gave me as Pastor an opportunity to get to know some folks and to minister to family and friends that I have not met before. All of the family and friends were so kind to Karen and I. Brother Bill was married to the late Reba Elizabeth (Sanders) Hall. She is the daughter of charter members John and Esther Sanders, who contributed much time and effort in the building of the basement back in the late 40's and later the sanctuary in the mid 50's. All of John and Esther Sanders' children were there and it was an honor to meet them some of their children and families and hear some of the stories of the beginnings of the church here at Huntingdon. We pray that God will bless this family and help us reach out to them.
