Sadly, Faith C. Smith, Pastor Andy Smith's wife, (Emmanuel Baptist in Cortland), passed away on December 26th. Services will be held later in the spring. Her life and many services will be remembered with gratitude. Praise God, she is now happier and healthier and more alive than ever before. Her obituary is here. Such an amazing servant of the Lord. The church address for cards is PO Box 367, Cortland, NY. Please remember her family and church family in your prayers. 

Elaine seemed to be always helping someone. You may remember her helping with our Association Disaster Relief missions. We are so sorry to see her go so soon and happy to know she is with her Lord! Please continue your prayers for Pastor Dennis O'Neill and family.  Here you can read the obituary, see or post photos and memories, and get the details for attending the live streamed memorial service on the 15th at 10am.  For cards, Living Gospel Baptist Church, 23 W.

May the legacy left by these two inspire us all to love more, serve more, and share Christ more while we have opportunity.  
Praise be to the God and Father of our LORD Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles...
