Pray for the Sanctuary Fellowship

The following is an email I got from Liz regarding the devastating situation that has played out at her church, the Sanctuary Fellowship. I share it with you so you can know how to pray for the family, for the church, and for God to be glorified in this.


Dear Friends,


I wanted to write and ask you for your prayers. My pastor, Thomas Young, died Friday evening. As a friend, I covet your prayers. Pray for his wife, Erin, and their 3 children specifically Morgan(15), Graham(12), & Claudia(10). As you can imagine they are in intense pain. Pray for healing and understanding for the church members. Pray that Gods unending love is on the forefront of all our minds, that is all we really have. Pray for the staff as we make arrangements for the funeral and continue to lead The Sanctuary without our leader. Pray as friends and family of this man come to reconcile this with God. May our doubts and heartache lead to us knowing of God's suffering more.

We, as a church, have been OVERWHELMED by the graciousness of the churches and church leaders in Houston and around the US. We are blessed to be a part of a network of believes who know the body of Christ is not one group of people gathering in a building. The love of God is being poured over us throughout this time. Thank you for your words of encouragement and lifting up the family, friends, and our church members in your prayers. Check out the website, there are details posted and more to come. www.thesanctuaryfellowship.com Thank you, thank you, thank you!

The past is prologue,
Liz
