We are saddened to inform you of the death of NC Renewal Coordinator, Grady Lloyd. He lost his battle with cancer and went home to be with Lord last night. Please keep his wife, Babs, and their family in your prayers as they deal with this loss.

Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God,
even our Father; which hath loved us,
and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope
through grace, comfort your hearts . . .
