Dear Friends and Family,

October is here. 10/17/16 marks the seven year anniversary of Pastor Pauls
promotion to heaven. Thank you for your continued prayers for our new blended
family. With each passing year since Paul has gone, there are more friends and
family who have departed this earth for their heavenly home.

Laurel Moore - 7-27-51 to 8-11-16 The day

of death is better than the day of birth.
Ecclesiastes 7:1b

Laurel Moore suddenly passed away on August 11, 2016 after a brief illness.
Laurel and I met through mutual friends in 1996. We shared many opportunities
to work side by side in ministry with the Kern County Sunday School Association
(Christian Ministry Convention), ministry to pastors wives and my varied
connections with non-profits in Bakersfield. Laurel was my mentor and example
as how to be a pastors wife, with my newsletter to pastors wives, Laurels story
of her survival of breast cancer was my very first interview. Our common bond
and ministry to women in ministry and business lead to an opportunity for me
to serve for four years with Focus on the Family as their columnist to minister to
Pastors Wives.
In 2004, when I was diagnosed with cancer - stage 4 non-hodkins lymphoma
in the bone marrow in five places in my body, Laurel cheered me on. She had
made it and was thriving, Laurel gave me the inspiration to make it. Laurel and
her team at Minuteman Press continued to provide my printing and bulk mailing.

Owners of Minuteman Press, Steve and Laurel

Moore, a dynamite husband and wife team,
served our community together for twenty six
years, through graphics, printing and bulk
mailing.

Laurels talents in printing and design included Sarahs wedding invitations

in 2008, Bens wedding invitations in 2013, my second wedding invitations in
2014. There are also monthly missionary support letters, books, promotion and
banners. A month ago we were working on a new project. I was so thankful to
get to reconnect with Laurel, I had missed our time together. And now I look
forward to reconnecting with Laurel some day when I too, meet our Savior. I will
miss her until that day.
Wont you take a moment to pray for those who have lost loved ones?
I am praying for you,
Sheryl
The righteous perish and no one ponders it in his heart, devout men are taken
away, and no one understand that the righteous are taken away to be spared
from evil. Those who walk uprightly enter into peace, they find rest as they lie in
death. Isaiah 57:1,2

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first
earth had passed away. Gods dwelling place is now among his people, and he
will dwell with them. They will be his people and God himself will be with them
and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more
death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.
Revelation 21:1, 3-4
