Once again, the Lord has called home one of our faithful members. I have known Ms. Ruby ever since I was a little child. I will always remember the way she knew how to staighten you out when you was hardheaded. She will be truly missed by all especially The Nursery at Antioch. That was her love. We will miss you. To Rochelle and the family, stay strong. Your church family has much love and support to give.
