Our Christian sympathy to Pastor and Deb Hauser and their family on the loss of Deb’s mother, Anne Zipf, who passed away in Florida on October 18. The time the good Lord allotted her was 88 years, 2 months and 16 days. Cards of condolence may be sent to Pastor and Deb at 5786 Knoll St. Saginaw, MI 48603 “And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Blessed indeed,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!” Revelation 14:13
