ARDEN STERN’S ENTRANCE INTO GLORY – We pray for peace and comfort for the family of Arden Stern whom God called home last Sunday, Jan. 17^th.  We pray that God would comfort all who mourn with the hope of the glorious resurrection of the body and a happy reunion in heaven, and that He would sustain the family with the knowledge that all who remain faithful will be given the crown of eternal life and will be in our Lord’s presence forevermore.  Arden’s home-going service was held last Thursday, Jan. 21^st.
