Around 7:00 Am this morning Darrell Thorell went home with Jesus. While this brings us sorrow, God’s grace is sufficient. I had the awesome privilege of spending time with Darrell’s family this morning and witnessing the Joy of the Lord in action. This past Sunday we focused on Philippians 1:12-26. We learned in that passage that the Joy of the Lord fills our hearts when we understand that to live is Christ and to die is gain. Darrell spent many years living for Christ. He was saved by grace alone through faith alone. Because that is true we can be filled with joy even while we hurt. It is difficult to say goodbye and yet we know its not forever. For to me, to live is Christ. Darrell has finished the race and gone before us. One day there will be a grand reunion. Until then, we trust Jesus and walk in light of His grace. This Friday, July 31, we will celebrate Darrell’s promotion at 2:00 here at Loomis EFC.

I just checked this blog and learned about Darryl's death. We have many good memories of Darryl from our years in Loomis. Please extend our sympathy to his family. We know he loved the Lord and is enjoying being in His presence at this time.
John and I have just returned from a mission trip with our church in TX to Moldova to work with orphans at a camp. You can read about it at my blog http://johnandlindaworden.blogspot.com
May God continue to bless all of the faithful folks in Loomis.
In His Hand,
Linda Worden
