In Memoriam

Mr. Johannes Van Vugt

On July 11, 2017, it pleased the Lord to take from the midst of his family and our congregation former office bearer Mr. Johannes Van Vugt at the age of ninety years. Mr. Van Vugt faithfully served the congregation of Franklin Lakes as a deacon for ten years. He was instrumental in starting our Christian school, and he also served on the school board for some years. May the Lord remember his dear wife, children, grandchildren, and greatgrandchildren and fill the empty place in their family circle as well as in our church family with His presence.

“Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth” (Psalm 124:7&8).
