In Memoriam

Meeuwis Van Maanen

It pleased the Lord to remove Mr. Meeuwis Van Maanen out of the midst of his family and the congregation of Lethbridge at the age of ninety-one years. He had served the congregation as deacon for four years. May the Lord comfort the widow, children, and grandchildren and prepare them and us for the moment when it will be our turn to exchange time for eternity.
