Today, we said our "temporary" final goodbyes to Gwyn Regan. WOW, what an event. People came to the church on Friday to help set up. We had overflow seating in the basement, library, main entrance and in 2 large areas upstairs. All were wired with video and sound feeds so people could catch the funeral.
It seemed like people just kept arriving. We had crews covering the parking lot and overflow lots secured. We had greeters and ushers at every door and on every level. The place was PACKED!
What a beautiful tribute to a beautiful girl!
Gwyn, age 15, was killed on Tuesday night when she went off the shoulder of the road, overcorrected and spun into the path of a Chevy Suburban. She and her family have attended First Wesleyan since about 2000.
In the midst of tragedy, God does amazing things. I told several people that "it seems like when life is at its worst, the Body of Christ is at its best." How true! So many people helped and showered the family with love and support. What a fitting tribute to God's love for Gwyn and her family.
Please pray for Michelle (mom), Katie (younger sister) and Shawn (dad).
We had the chance to share the Gospel message during the service. Gwyn knew and followed Jesus. What a comfort to have hope for eternal life with Christ.
