(Originally received May 21, 2008)

Dear friends,

I am saddened to inform you that Dr. John Carrier's oldest son died in a car accident yesterday.  John is the senior minister at First, Commerce.  It certainly goes without saying that we will hold this family, their friends and colleagues in our prayers.  We don't know any further details at this time, we will be passing that along.

Thank you for being the caring community that you are!

Grace and peace,

Coretha
