Rev. James Morganfield, Sr. will be missed. I've known this man "all" my life. Our family and their family are one through Christ and through marriage. He has been an inspiration of how to be devoted to the Lord. Love Always, Angel Ford Nelson
Phillipians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord alway; and again I say, Rejoice.
Rev. James can say as Paul, the apostle wrote to the Philippians, I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge shall give me. So, I say to the family and all those that loved and knew Rev. James, "REJOICE" for a life well lived and a job well done. He will truly be missed.
