Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family of Rev. James. He is to remembered as a delightful, kind Christian whom we admired. I shall always remember him as my mother, Mrs. Julila Flowers hair stylist, and convincing her that perms were the new thing in hair styles when they firsr became popular. She has gone on to be with the Lord herself, but she always trusted him to make her look nice, and respected him as a person.. May the Peace of the Lord be always with You. Amen

Pastor LeRoy Pollen III

February 28, 2006

To the Family my prayers are with you. The Lords declares in his word, that weeping may endure for a night but joy shall and will come in the morning. For earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. May God have mercy upon you doing this your Hour and season of sorrow. God has not promised us skies always blue, but there will be some dark days. But if God brings you to it, He will bring you through it. For this is just apart of the Lords doing. And so we say to you family that if you have to reach way down Jesus can, will, and shall pick you up. So lift up your heads o ye gates and be ye lifted up ye everlasting door for the king of glory must come in. Work while it is day for when night cometh no man can work. Sis. James we say the battle has been fought and the victory is already won, For thy labours employ.

Mrs. James, please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Rev. James made a great contribution to this community. I Thessalonians 4: 13, 14 says " But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethen, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
