Eldon's family chose his funeral service to be this Wednesday. Visitation will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Erickson-Rochon & Nash Funeral Home in Iron Mountain. The funeral services will follow at 6 there. Eldon's family also chose his graveside service to be this Thursday morning.

Due to this taking priority, there will be no Wednesday Music meeting, Prayer & Devotional meeting, nor Men's Bible Study for this week only. I expect us to be back on schedule this Sunday.

Call me if you have further questions.

It is with great sorrow I must inform you that Eldon is no longer with us here. He is for the first time, 100% healed in the arms of our Savior, Jesus. He passed away this morning around 2 am. I did get to be with him a couple of hours before he passed. He wanted me to tell all of you, "hello... and of course, I love you all."

He is in heaven now where we will one day join him and where Jesus promises to, "...wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

Jodi & Delanna were with him the moment he passed.

We encourage you to join us in person at our main "in-house" services. We will meet at our regular time of 9:30 for Adult Sunday School & 10:45 for the main service.  We have rescheduled our business meeting for 31st OCT following the main service.

IF you are sick—even if you think it is just a cold—we strongly encourage you to stay home and join us online.

This Wednesday, the 20th — Both the music practice & the midweek prayer service will resume at their regular times.

This Thursday, the 21st — Men's Bible Study will resume at 10:00

I encourage you to give to our ministry. You can give online at GraceKingsford.org/give or text the word ‘Give’ with the amount (e.g. Give 100) to (906) 205-0188. Or you can just mail in an offering to 1295 Pyle Drive, Kingsford, MI 49802. Thank you for your faithfulness to Grace Baptist Church.

We invite you to give to the ministry of Grace Baptist Church. We believe that the practice of giving ourselves first to the Lord will result in giving generously that will meet all the needs of this local church (2 Cor. 8:1-7). Accordingly, grace-giving should be sacrificial as God has blessed, in obedience to Scripture, and out of love for God & His mercy.  

Our Prayers

Eldon Reed — He is in the hospital still & just was moved out of the covid unit.

A few others in our congregation — Some are very sick right now and need our prayers and support.

Tom Calkins — & Family — Lois transitioned into heaven last week and her funeral service was today.

Michael Graham— [Pastor’s Brother-in-law] — Mike was just diagnosed with aggressive stage III cancer. Please be in prayer for him, his wife, and his two kids.

Henry Bomba [Shelton family friend] — He is battling spiritual warfare and health issues. Pray that he stays strong in the faith & for guidance.

Steve [Laurie Miller’s friend] — He is a Christian brother battling spiritual warfare. Pray that he would be surrounded by godly support.

President Biden — Pray that our president & Harris are brought into righteousness and justice in all things. That they would walk in the ways of God, & do the deeds of God—whether they originally intend to do so. Change their hearts so that all of America may worship our God.

Eldon is in comfort care right now. The doctors are not expecting him to survive over 48 hours. We ought to pray that he transitions into heaven peacefully.

2 Corinthians 4:17-18 comes to my mind:

"For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."

Lois went to be face to face with our Lord Sunday. Her children scheduled visitation for this Saturday, October 23, at the Evangelical Covenant Church starting at 9:00. The memorial service starts at 11:30.

At a time like this, I think of Psalm 73:26:

My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

We have resumed in-person services for tomorrow; however, if you cannot make it, we will still have our Livestream. Our online Livestream service is tomorrow, October 17th at 10:45 am CDT. Click HERE to join! I hope you can make it!
