Mahalo nui loa to all of you who were able to attend Pastor Mark's Celebration of LIFE on March 22nd, 2017.
Mark loved potlucks and visiting with his friends and family. He will continue to live on in our hearts and memories. From the bottom of our hearts thank you for every phone call/text/post/privatemessage/card and gift of love, monetarily, with food, service or your presence. This one thing we know:
I Corinthians 15:50-58 MSG (paraphrased by Lani)
But let me tell you something wonderful, a mystery I'll probably never fully understand.
We will all be changed.
In an instant..then the saying will come true:
Death swallowed by triumphant life!
Who got the last word, oh, death?
Oh, death, who's afraid of you now?
But now in a single victorious stroke of life, all three-sin, guilt, and death- are gone, the gift of our Master Jesus Christ. Thank God!
With all this going for us, my dear, dear friends,
Stand your ground. And Don't hold back. Throw yourselves into the work of the Master,
confident that nothing you do for Him is a waste of time or effort.
To help change lives forever, Pastor Mark always promoted his wife's book, "LIFE in the Midst of Hopelessness" for any person needing information about times like these. You can read it here: http://tinyurl.com/ltq3ufj
May the Lord bless you and keep you strong until we meet again.
A hui hou!
Lani Larrua and Ohana
