Our prayers go out to the family, friends, and colleagues of Brenda Barber this morning. Caroline and I awakened to the unbelievable horrible heartbreaking news that our dear friend and colleague, Brenda died in the traffic accident over in New Windsor last night.
Her untimely death is a huge loss to the Sam’s Creek 4-H Club, the Carroll County agriculture and the 4-H community. Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers go out to her husband Rick.
Although the agriculture community is blessed with many great leaders; wise leadership of the caliber of Rick and Brenda is increasingly rare and the loss of Brenda is a terrible blow to the greater Carroll County community. Brenda is held in very high regard in the Ag community. The Carroll agriculture community is a tight, close-knit community; this morning we all feel a dreadful sense of loss. She touched so many lives.
Let us pray: O god of grace and glory, we remember before you today our sister Brenda.
We thank you for giving her to us to know and to love as a companion in our pilgrimage on earth and our service to our community.
In your boundless compassion, console us who still mourn.
Give us faith to see that death has been swallowed up in the victory of our Lord, so that we may live in confidence and hope until, by your call, we are gathered to our heavenly home in the company of all your saints; through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord.
“We do not live to ourselves, and we do not die to ourselves. If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord, so then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s.” (Romans 14:7-8)
Amen
