Fare Thee Well

The Patterson Family

Tonight we stood in line to say goodbye to the Patterson family. James and Tracy served the singles at Davis Islands Baptist = South Tampa Fellowship faithfully and effectively for many years and will now be present at Chandler Arizona’s Cornerstone Church.

So many changes but we have no fear, the perfect love of Jesus casts out all fear. I have been with STF for long enough to have begun seeing the many changed lives. As I walk thought the halls amid the hustle and bustle of God vibrant community here in South Tampa, I am frequently encouraged when I see this brother or that sister and remember where God has brought them from. So many stories that will now have joyful endings when the time here is exchanged for an eternity in God’s kingdom!

Thank you James and Tracy for you calm steady obedience to our Father.
