To: Pastor Key, Family, Friends:1 CORINTHIANS 15:51-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.For this corruption must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption,and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written,Death is swallowed up in victory.O death where is thy sting?O grave, where is thy victory?The sting of death is sin;and the strength of sin is the law.But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victorythrough our Lord Jesus Christ.Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.Secretary; Minister Joyce M. Williams

To the immediate and extended Key family, my family and I would like to express our deepest sympathy of love. We both suffered a loss on the same day. The Lord is with us all during these times and it is by the love they expressed before their passing that keeps us strong, to continue on in the faith. TGBTG.

What a friend we have in Jesus,

all our sins and griefs to bear!

What a privilege to carry

everything to God in prayer!

O what peace we often forfeit,

O what needless pain we bear,

all because we do not carry

everything to God in prayer.



Have we trials and temptations?

Is there trouble anywhere?

We should never be discouraged;

take it to the Lord in prayer.

Can we find a friend so faithful

who will all our sorrows share?

Jesus knows our every weakness;

take it to the Lord in prayer.



Are we weak and heavy laden,

cumbered with a load of care?

Precious Savior, still our refuge;

take it to the Lord in prayer.

Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?

Take it to the Lord in prayer!

In his arms he'll take and shield thee;

thou wilt find a solace there.



May God Bless each of you

In Jesus Name

Amen

This Is Our Prayer

We will truly miss Leon, I will miss his personality of humor. He truly loved Jesus and he is resting in his arms.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus." I Thess. 4:13, 14.



Take care and we love you.
