Death Notice - D. Elwood Matthews

I just learned a few-minutes-ago that Bishop D. Elwood Matthews passed away last night. All who have been around the Church of God of Prophecy for any length of time know this is one of the "legends" of our church.

A minister with a great wit and dynamic preaching style, Bishop Matthews served as a State Overseer but most notably as the minister for the Voice of Salvation.

I will post arrangements as I receive them. Please join my in prayer for Roberta and the rest of the family.

We are praying for Roberta and family. Bother Matthews impacted our lives and we have wonderful memories of the times we were blessed by attending conventions in Colorado where he was ministering. We know that he is rejoicing around the throne of God. Thanks to God for allowing us to know such a faithful servant of the Lord.
