Our church family is heartbroken by the sudden passing of our new pastor, Rev. David Poole. We are grateful to have had him with us for his brief time of service, but mourn the loss of a promising future at Harrisena and the community at large. We take comfort in knowing that he loved his time here, visiting church members at their homes, assisting with renovations and landscaping at the parsonage, making personal connections, singing with our choir and Encore singers, enjoying good food and fellowship as often as possible, and enlightening our congregation with his heartfelt, personal, down-to-earth sermons and pastoral ponderings each week.
We extend our thoughts and prayers to his family and friends who were blessed to have known him longer than we were able to - and pray for the soul of Rev. David Poole to rest in eternal peace with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Note: there will be a special time of remembrance during our worship service on October 25th. The church is planning to hold a memorial service, as well. Details will be announced as soon as possible.
Whether you are exploring your faith, reconnecting with God, or seeking a Christian community where your unique gifts will be valued, explored, developed, and shared, we would love to welcome you into our church family.
One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?”
“The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”
Mark 12: 28-31
