We experienced a great tragedy in our community as a group of scouts returning from an outing crashed and burned on Nov. 5. One of the boys was a member of our church.
The day before the funeral, I attended the Virginia Baptist Pastors Conference and was overwhelmed by the love, support and prayers expressed by so many. Many pastors and people from the VBMB called, emailed or came by to offer words of encouragement and sympathy both before and after the funeral.
Thank you so much, Virginia Baptists, for standing with us and the great support we received.
