Stephen Ministry

Thank You

On behalf of the family of Martha Sherby Tuttle, I would like to thank you for all your concerns, prayers, and cards during my mother’s illness.  Saying good-bye is never easy but knowing that others are praying for healing, strength, and a peaceful passing has made God’s plan for Martha a comforting journey.  My mother always said that “God is in Control”.  What an awesome way to live and die in Christ.
