+Adolph Sievers

I just found out that Adolph, a man of cheerful spirit and wise counsel, has passed from this age to the glories of the age to come. Please remember him and his dear wife Alice and his family in your prayers. They are shining lights in Christ, every one of them. Adolph received the Eucharist for the last time six days ago. "Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life."

We cling to Your promises, our Lord, and our hope is entirely in Your mercy!

Give rest, O Christ, to Your servant Adolph with your saints, where sorrow and pain are no more, neither sighing, but life everlasting!

Apparently God thought it good yesterday to grant the ultimate deliverance from evil not only to Adolph, but also to a member down here, Charlie Schrader (Rev. Darwin Schrader's father.) The Lord has given, the Lord has taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.
