Pastor Jeffery Hope and Family,

I pray God’s continued blessings upon you in your moment of sorrow, I also hope that you be comforted by remembering the scriptures which teach this not the end but the begining of a better a life. Paul reminds us “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”
