Yesterday evening I received a phone call that a good friend and Christian brother Ed Schlittler had passed away yesterday unexpectedly.  Ed and Fran have been at our church since before we started and have always been huge supports of our evangelism outreach walks.  We at 2MHDs want to send our love to Fran, Mike, and Michelle and the rest of the family as well.  I heard a song this morning that made me think of Fran and so I wanted to share it with you all and her.  The lyrics are from a Natalie Grant song and they are:

This is what it means to be held
How it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive
This is what it is to be loved and to know
That the promise was when everything fell
We’d be held

So Fran, Mike, and Michelle  this is what if feels like to be held, God promises that He will be with us through all things. 

Nahum 1:7 (English Standard Version)
⁷The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; he knows those who take refuge in him.

We as Eden Community Church will be with you through every step of this journey.  We have great hope and joy in the knowledge that brother Ed loved Jesus and is now with Him worshiping and finding out what true healing and true peace is about.  We love you!

God Bless ~ Pastor Tyler
