The funeral for Dr. Fred Winters, the pastor of FBC Maryville, is today. I had been wondering this week what a church would do the Sunday after the pastor was so tragically killed during a worship service. God always provides. Al Meridth, the pastor of Wedgewood Baptist Church in Fort Worth, is going to preach there. Al knows full well what this church is going through. A gunman entered Wedgewood several years ago during a youth rally and killed several people. I was in seminary at the time and saw some of the aftermath of that tragedy. No one could have handled it better and more Christ-like than Al Meridith and the people of Wedgewood.
I'm sure Al will have a word from the Lord for the people of FBC Sunday. My prayers are with the family of Dr. Winters and the church family as well. There will be victory in Jesus!
