Bro Paul Dennis passed away today,
July 16, 2008. Bro Paul was a godly man who dedicated his life in
service to God at Possum Road Church of God. Never was there a job
or task too big or too small for him. Whether it was mowing the
grass, locking up after service, turning off the sanctuary lights,
singing in the choir, serving on the trustee board, all of these
services, and many more, were part of his chosen responsibility. He
was the congregational "work horse" and used his talents and
abilities to further the work of God. He was a man with the
spiritual gift of "helps" (1Cor 12:28).
In his younger years, he played
the guitar and sang the above song. Well, Bro Paul, your day of
rapture has now come! No need to worry anymore, but you will be
sadly missed!
