 |
|
Please be in prayer for singer/songwriter Don Poythress and his family. Don's Dad, Pat, is one of the finest Christian gentlemen we know, but his physical health has been declining rapidly over the past weekend. Pat Poythress is a man who loves God with all his heart and has been a gracious servant to his family and to the body of Christ. Please pray for God's grace for him, for his wife, Dancy, their daughter, Melanie, and for Don and Don's wife, Aubrey.

From Abundant Life Church in Mt. Juliet, TN:
The Poythress Family asked that we update you all this morning.
Last night, after a long and courageous battle, Pat Poythress passed from death unto life. He went peacefully, surrounded by his family. Mrs. Dancy, Melanie, Don and Aubrey are all doing as well as can be expected at a time like this. The family is in the process this morning of finalizing the arrangements and will be spending time together over the next few days dealing with the overwhelming loss. They all appreciate your prayers, love, care and support that you have shown and continue to do so.
We will let you know the final arrangements as we know.
The family is set for meals and if there is any assistance needed from our congregation, we will make you aware at that time.
Thank you.
