Elder Newell Helms Has Passed

Elder Newell Helms, my ex father in law, has passed away at his home on last evening, here in Monroe, NC.

The Lord blessed him with long life and good days. Let us celebrate his life and keep the family in prayers.

I have not heard any of the funeral arrangements as yet.

Elder Helms and I were good friends. I use to visit him in his retirement years by going to the Bear Creek Association a few times. Those visits and conversations are etched in my memory.

A good sermon by Elder Helms preached in 1990 can been seen and heard here.
