Remembering these pastors, those who spoke the Word of God. (Hebrews 13:7 adapted)

We remember and celebrate the life and ministry of these saints who fought the good fight, finished the race, all while keeping the faith. Their legacy continues to live in many hearts and memories. Thanks be to God who gave them the breath of life and the strength to live each day.
