“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29
For thirty years Jan filled an important role to this congregation as she loved and supported our Pastor in Pastor Blackwell. Not only did she love pastor and her family, but she was a strong, funny, witty and dedicated presence at St. John’s. We will forever be grateful for her dedication to St. John’s and much of her influence continues on in my own wife, in our Sunday School and Christian education programs, and in our dedication to the nurture of our families as Jan so supported our Head to Heart Confirmation program and faith stepping stone initiatives for many years.Â
Thank you for everything Jan!!!! And thank you Pastor Blackwell and family for sharing Jan with us.
As many of you know it please our Lord to call Jan home this past Monday after a short 6 month battle with cancer. We rejoice greatly in the fulfilment of the promises given to Jan in Holy Baptism… The promise of life forever with our Jesus and all of the saints!!! We too, hold in our prayers Pastor Blackwell and family as they maneuver through this extremely difficult season. Â
The wake for Jan will be on Monday October 21st from 3-8pm at the FE Brown Funeral Home in Orchard Park. Â
The Celebration of Faith Service will be on Tuesday October 22nd at 10am at St. Johns Lutheran Church in Orchard Park. Â
