A MEMORIAL!

My dear friends,
Recently, Olive Cruver, a dear sister, mother, and friend went home to be with Jesus. There is a woman in the Bible that Jesus spoke of and said her life would be a memorial - - Olive Cruver was one such as this, a hero of the faith, an Esther in her own right! Once orphaned and brought lovingly into a Christian family she came to know Jesus Christ as her Savior. Olive brought the Gospel to the Nations! You may say “How can that be?” She did this by faithfully and passionately passing the Gospel to her children. If you have had the blessing of knowing Rob (our Pastor), Sarah, Beth, Becky, Jen and Terry you would agree that HER MEMORIAL TO JESUS continues to multiply like the fish and the loaves.

This was one of her favorite portions of Scripture that she shared with many of us - -

God is a safe place to hide, ready to help when we need him. We stand fearless at the cliff-edge of doom, courageous in seastorm and earthquake, Before the rush and roar of oceans, the tremors that shift mountains. Psalm 46

As we birth this site, I would like to dedicate it to Olive, her children, and her children’s children. I am so thankful that I had the privileged opportunity to share a small piece of a spiritual mother that I will miss deeply with all my heart-- what a great honor that in this lifetime I can say she was my friend….

Love in Jesus,
Pastor Marlene
