Pastor Tom Mc Carthy

Received via email just now:

Dear Hope Chapel Family & Friends,

 

Heaven has gained a great man today. Our friend and pastor, Doctor Tom entered heaven’s gates at Four o’clock this morning.

 

On the other hand we have lost a great man among us. We will miss him terribly. I will miss him terribly. May we be filled with gratitude at the privilege of knowing him as our friend and pastor.

 

Though the heavens are rejoicing over their great gain we will naturally mourn and weep over our huge loss. Weep with those who weep, mourn with those who mourn. Jesus said, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” (Matthew 5:4)

 

I will get back to you soon regarding the details of Tom’s memorial service. I send my warmest hugs to all of you in our time of sadness.

 

With deepest love for you all,

Your pastor, Dan
