On The Rhoads

We’re approaching our 6 month review with MAF. Because our support level is still so low, we had a pre-review conference call today. This isn’t written in stone, but if we haven’t reached at least 35% by 3/1, MAF may drop us.

So if you’ve been meaning to join our team, but just haven’t gotten around to it yet, please contact us and let us know what your intentions are.

Thanks!

Dear Family and Friends,

Dad (Richard Kinnamon) went home to be with the Lord this morning. We consider it a blessing that we had the privilege of caring for him at home these last two weeks. While we miss him greatly, we celebrate his life which was lived in service to Christ. Dad is in no more pain, but has a new body and we rejoice with him as we praise God together.

Visitation will be Thursday, January 10th from 5-8 pm at Norberg Memorial Home at 701 Thomson in Princeton, IL
Funeral Service will be Friday, January 11th at 1:00 at First Baptist Church, 1719 S Euclid, Princeton, IL
Internment following at Greenfield Cemetery in LaMoille, IL

Thank you for your prayers and support over the past few weeks.

God’s Love,

Susan Rhoads
