A Sad Loss

My good friend, Rebeca Dunlavy, and her infant son, Samuel, were killed this week in a terrible automobile accident.

Tomorrow, in Clark, South Dakota, she will be buried with little Samuel in her arms.

Rebeca had a beautiful spirit, and a heart of love for God and others. She was the leader of our efforts to have a Spanish speaking service in Minong. We will deeply miss her.

Please pray for her husband, Alan, and their precious three year old daughter, Abby.
--------
Children of the heav’nly Father
Safely in His bosom gather;
Nestling bird nor star in Heaven
Such a refuge e’er was given.

God His own doth tend and nourish;
In His holy courts they flourish;
From all evil things He spares them;
In His mighty arms He bears them.

Neither life nor death shall ever
From the Lord His children sever;
Unto them His grace He showeth,
And their sorrows all He knoweth.

Though He giveth or He taketh,
God His children ne’er forsaketh;
His the loving purpose solely
To preserve them pure and holy.
