Phil Smith

A longstanding member of our church family, Phil Smith, has died this week. Although Phil has been unable to attend church due to illness for the last couple of years, he has been in the hearts and minds of those who knew and cared about him. He was a committed Christian who enjoyed celebrating Home Communion when it was brought to him. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time. God bless you Phil, and may you rest in peace with your loving wife, Val.
