Please be in prayer for members of our sister congregation at Christ Church Branch Cove (Alabama): Janet Vest, her six children, and their many grandchildren as they mourn the death of Richard Vest. He sustained injuries due to a biking accident on Saturday, October 10. The result was severe spinal cord damage and a heart attack.

They initially put him on a ventilator to keep him alive but the decision was made this past Tuesday to take him off of that life support and he went to be with the Lord.

Richard served as an elder for many years at Christ Church and was a founding member of the congregation there. He was a faithful believer in Christ and his absence will be deeply felt not only by his family, but also his friends there at Branch Cove.

Pray for God’s comfort for this family and congregation.
