From Pastor Roger:

I regret to inform you that the daughter of Mrs. Joyce Carter, Lisa, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday evening. This has been a shock to the family, and they are very much in need of your prayers at this time.

Please remember Mr. Charles, Mrs. Joyce, and the rest of the family in your thoughts and prayers.

Arrangements have not been made at this time. As soon as they are finalized, we will ensure everyone is notified.

Lift up this family in your thoughts and prayers. And remember our church as well. We have several dealing with losses in their immediate families, and they all need our love and concern at this time.

Thank you for all that you do, Powhatan Church. Times like this are never easy, but they are made bearable by your love and support.

May our God bless you all.
