It is with Deep Sadness...

My heart is heavy as I send this to our GT family. Lucretia went home to be with the Lord on Sunday. She has been a special part of our Saturday Night ministry team as the leader of our Children's Ministries, and our dear friend.

Her family and friends are heartbroken. Please lift them before the Lord in prayer. Jeremy, Justin, Dalton and Lydia need our love and support more than ever.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Lucreatia C. Bashore Memorial Fund at any VIST Bank Branch.

With love,

Pastor Tom and Sherry Rees
