With heavy hearts we want to share that David McDowell passed away this past Sunday, July 18, 2021. This blog, which he started in 2011, provided him the opportunity to continue in the ministry after his retirement. He loved the Lord and wanted to share his joy all the way up until his final breath. We know this to be true because even in Dave’s final weeks here on earth, he was convinced of and held onto a bottom-line trust that “nothing can separate us from the love of God.” (Romans 8:28)
Thank you for being a part of this ministry. We pray that the thoughts he shared on this blog will continue to encourage, provide solace and challenge you to grow your faith in the Almighty for many years to come.

Just A Thought 
😢💔🙏 for us.
🎉🎉🎉 for him.
So sorry for your loss. He will be missed.
Thank you soo much McDowells! From all the Cody’s, we miss you and will miss Pastor Dave’s wisdom, leadership, and love for sharing the gospel. It is bittersweet to know he is gone but sharing the heavens with Christ. Know that we will be praying for your grief …In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans(Rom8:26).
We love you all!
Kevin, Jill, Megan and Molly
