A Mother Killed in Car Accident
When I got to church today I learned the sad news that the mother of a young man was killed in a automobile accident yesterday. This young man is in his early to mid 20's and was a part of our church while he was in college in our town. After he graduated he took a job in Hawaii where he has been the last year or so but I saw him at church last week visiting.
I went to his FB page to offer my condolences and it was so sad to see his last post one day before his mother was killed. He was on a road trip with his brother. A trip that was horribly interrupted by this tragedy.
Please pray for Andrew and his surviving family as they deal with this grief. He is called to ministry and I pray his faith and love of God sustains him.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
