Saunders, Co-Pastor Deacon Leslie Merchant, Chairman Deacon Judy A. Floyd, Secretary October 22, 2020 To the Family of the Late Lawrence Hughes Sr., When we lose someone, we love the loss seems too great to bear. God sends us friends to comfort us to show that He deeply cares. But in the dark hours of the night when there is nobody else around. When we feel the saddest and loneliest it is there God's love can be found. We pray the Lord will be to you the comfort that you need. Getting through this time may be difficult so let those around you help to ease the pain of your sadness. In sympathy this thought and prayer that God will keep you and your loved ones always in His care. "...The God of love and peace shall be with you.' II Corinthians 13:11 Prelate Bishop Martha J. Sanders, Pastor Bishop Sallie M. Saunders, Co-Pastor Rev. Deborah Lewis-Sanders, Chief Elder Hour of Power Full Gospel Tabernacle Church Family "We Dare to be Different"
