Dear friends,
It is with great sadness that we have to let you know the news that
Eileen Keenan has passed away. Eileen was a dear friend to many as well as
being a faithful church member and elder and I know she will be deeply missed
by many. Eileen had been unwell for some time now and was ready to go and be
with her Lord and saviour who she loves so much and so although the family will
really miss Eileen, they are relieved that her suffering has come to an end. We
remember her family in our prayers - her nieces Helen & Alyson, her nephew
Jeremy and the rest of the family circle. May they know God's comfort and
strength at this sad time. A Service of Thanksgiving for Eileen’s life will be
held in our church on Wednesday at 11.30am. Further details below.
