Church Tragedy in Illinois

By now many of you have heard the news of the shooting at First Baptist Church of Maryville, Illinois. The church located in the St. Louis metro area 20 miles northeast of St. Louis was shaken by Sunday's events, where a gunmen entered the sanctuary and shot and killed Senior Pastor Fred Winters and injured two others during morning worship. I can only imagine what must be going through the minds of his wife and family as well as the church members and staff of First Baptist Church in Maryville. They are in my thoughts and prayers and please keep them in your daily prayers. I am believing and trusting the Lord that through this tragedy, may God bring blessing and victory.
