Death Notice - Hazel Winters Young

Obituary

Hazel Winters Young, age 93, died at home in Mobile, AL, on April 27, 2012 from Alzheimer’s Disease.

Born January 9, 1919 in Big Sandy, TN, she lived in Big Sandy, Gallatin and Knoxville, TN before settling in Mobile in her later years. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother and will be sorely missed. A life-long member of the Church of God of Prophecy, she worked tirelessly in the local church wherever she lived and gave generously of her time and effort. She is probably known best for her cooking, baking and quilting as well as her quiet, gentle manner. It was her honor to serve others and she was a shining example of selflessness.

She is preceded in death by her parents, George and Addie Wheatley, her husbands, James Aaron Winters and Rev. Zilvon R. Young, her brothers, Hubert and Carl Wheatley, her sister, Ora Estelle Berry Atchison, her daughters, Anita Winters and Frances Winters Lawrence and son-in-law, Gordon “Jack” Lawrence.

Survivors include her grand-daughters, Melody (Michael) Scott of Mobile, AL and Kristel (Morgan) Phillips of Whiteville, NC, great- grandchildren, David Morgan and Samuel Lawrence Phillips and Rihanna Camille Scott, step-daughter, Barbara Kirkland-Robinson (Doug), step-sons, Wayne (Judy) Young, Harold (Betty) Young, Terry (Janice) Young and Tony (Dava) Young and their families and a host of brother and sister-in-laws and their families and many step grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Funeral services will be held in Mobile, AL on Sunday, April 29, 2012 at Gilmer’s Funeral Home and on Tuesday, May 1, 2012 in Big Sandy, TN at the Big Sandy Church of God of Prophecy with burial at the Crooked Creek Cemetery in Benton County, TN.

Come Down From That Ivory Tower

Hebrews 11 has become known as the "Hall of Faith." The reason is quite simple. The writer spends a great deal of time giving a role call of the heroes of the faith. After all, this chapter is about faith, and what better way to teach faith than to illustrate with some real-life examples. Mos of the people in this chapter are well-known, at least by anyone who spent time squirming in a Sunday School class as a small child, or who watched the late-night movies on the local channels featuring their stories. Who were they? Abel, Enoch and Noah. Abel pleased God with his excellent offering, Enoch was so close to God that he actually walked with God to the point that one evening, while walking God said to Enoch, "we are closer to my house than we are yours, so why don't you just go home with me?" Of course, Noah built an ark (according to God's instructions) that saved mankind from total destruction. Then there was Abraham...the father of the faithful. He...

A new convert?

I just learned, that we may have converted a "roll-tide" Alabama fan! You decide.

New Church Organized

It is always a tremendous thrill to announce the establishment of a new church. This post shares a little about our latest. On January 30, 2011 I met with the people of the Capilla De La Victoria (Victory Chapel) in Cleveland, Tennessee for the purpose of organizing and establishing what had been a mission work for well over two years. Previously, this group had met under the direction of Cliff Anderson in a part of the Peerless Road Complex. Pastor Tim Coalter (now State Presiding Bishop of South Carolina) shared with the congregation a vision of that local church planting two churches in the United States. We then joined in a partnership with the Tennessee State Office to share in the cost of rent and other needs for a period of two years. Since the inception of the idea, there were several changes. Pastor Cliff Anderson felt the need of a change and Pastor Tim Coalter was appointed to serve in another ministry. At this time Omar Velazquez agreed to assume the leadership of th...
