Below is an email I would like to share just in case anyone would like to come.
To the Young Group and Bible Class,
Our deepest prayers go out to the Elsasser family, but our greatest joy goes out to BJ as he is living in the presence of our great and powerful God. BJ was very active in the Young Group and Bible Class and was an inspiration to every single one of us. The Young Group Committee talked about what we should do for his family and we decided that there is nothing better than pray and intercession for the Elsasser family. So this Sunday, instead of going to eat during lunch, it would be great if we could all go downstairs and just pray for the Elsasser family. We will get a few Sunday school rooms and break up into small groups, depending on how many people show up, and pray from 11-12. Also, if you feel led to give some money, we are going to give the Elsassers a garden stone for the visitation and send some money to the memorial that they set up. At a later date, we are going to be creating a scrapbook for the Elsassers of all our memories of BJ (more details will be made known later). And we are going to be signing a card during this time as well. I encourage you all to come pray Sunday during lunch because that is the best thing possible for the Elsassers, as well as to give God praise even during hard times.
Also, if you would like to share memories of BJ, you are invited to Herman’s Barn today, Saturday, July 25, 2009, at noon. This would be another great time to lift up the Elsasser family and remember the great times that we shared with BJ and the memories we will never forget. (If your parents want to send snacks, that would be great!)
In Christ, who we trust during good and bad times,
