Lonnie Eakle is our preacher Sunday. I will post for Lonnie some of what he is doing with his sermon.
Both Reverend Eakle and I were saddened to learn of the death of Bishop Ed Paup. Ed was a clergy colleague and friend of both of us and the announcement of his death has hit hard.
Ed of one of only two clergy elected from this Annual Conference and he served as an Episcopal leader in the Oregon - Idaho - Alaska area and the Seattle area. He ended his ministry as the head of the Board of Global Ministries.
Several years ago they discovered a brain tumor and he has been through various medical treatments for that condition.
Ed was an innovator and skilled preacher and leader. His leadership has made a significant difference in the church and his death is a very sad thing for all who knew him, loved him, and served with him in the church.
Lonnie and I consider ourselves to be good friends of Ed and we are both grieved by the news we received this week.
