What a great man he will truly be missed .New Grace was one of the first churches I joined when I moved to Ann Arbor . Bishop Dumas also christened my oldest son. (2011) I think this was one of the first times I was able to get all my family to attend a service.Bishop had us their for 3 hours that's day . lol I will never forget that service very powerful. I will be keeping this family lifted in prayer. God Bless You all so sorry....for your lose. Sincerely, ~Tierra Boykins

To Dumas Family:
Sending love and condolences to Mother Dumas, my friend and brother, Al, and the entire Dumas family. Pastor was a great man and a tremendous leader. I will remember his kind and welcoming way. He was always so encourage to me and my family whenever we'd cross paths. Sleep on, Bishop. Rest well.
Pastor Dumas was a wonderful friend and brother. As God would have it, he was present for some of my major milestones. Some would say by complete happenstance. He was always encouraging. He was always supportive. He was obedient to the spirit of God even when it wasn't popular. And I respected and appreciated him for that. Family, Saints and Friends let's live to see Jesus' face in peace and I believe we will see our dear brother in Christ as well.
Our hearts go out to you and your family during this difficult time. Please know that your work family is keeping you close in thought and prayer, and we're here to support you in any way we can. With deepest sympathy, Intersect of Woodward Staff
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
