So sorry to hear of the passing of Deacon Lewis. He was very faithful at whatever duty he had to do. I would often see him sitting in his car on Wednesday evenings waiting for Bible study to begin at Tabernacle Church. He was also very present at Historic Mt. Shiloh when he was a member there. I can't say enough about his faithfulness to the New Bern Eastern Missionary Baptist Association. This is another good soldier who has stuck his sword in the Golden Sand and gone to be at rest. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Praying for the family at this difficult time.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
