DONALD JONES

It is with deep sadness that we have to inform you that a member of our church leadership team, DONALD JONES died today, but we do celebrate that he is Promoted to Glory - safe in the arms of Jesus. Donald was taken poorly yesterday and taken into the East Surrey Hospital. We sincerely thank God that for nearly four years Heather and Don have been such a special part of our church family, after many years worshipping Jesus with The Salvation Army in Penge. Donald held many roles and responsibilities within our church and worked hard. His greatest passion was for people to be introduced to Jesus, meet Jesus, experience Jesus and grow in their relationship with Jesus. It was because of this his appointment as Recruiting Sergeant was key. Donald would often speak of his excitement at being able to worship at Horsham Corps, and shared how disappointed he was the weeks he could not, because he could not wait to get back to be part of what GOD has been doing here. Recently he has loved the new anniversary song which we have used this week and spoke of how it brought great joy to him. The reality is that Don brought so much joy to us! We ask at this stage for prayers for his lovely wife, Heather, and their three children, Stuart, Alastair, Ian, and their families. They are all very precious and we love them all from the bottom of our hearts.
