"The prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise them up; and anyone who has committed sins will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of the righteous is powerful and effective."
~James 5:15-16

It is with heaviness in my heart that I must let you know that The Rev. Hank Pedersen passed away last night. He had undergone a triple by-pass on Tuesday, May 18 and was recovering very well. He was at home and took a quick turn for the worse, and died in about 40 minutes yesterday a little after 10 pm. For those of you who may not know Hank, he was RI’s General Board representative for the last six years, and served in our region as pastor, interim pastor, and in many other capacities. He will be sorely missed. There are preliminary plans to have his memorial service this Wednesday morning. When these plans are completed I will inform you.
Blessings,
