Good Shepherd Reformed Episcopal Church

On Saturday morning, August 31st, the Lord took Matt Thiessen of Tyler, TX home to Himself. Matt was a young man in his early 40s and the sole income provider for his family. Good Shepherd Church of Tyler, TX where Matt and his family have attended and served for many years is working with the family to identify needs and facilitate help. The most urgent need the family is facing is basic living expenses over the next 2-3 months as Amy and the kids figure out what their next steps will be. Additionally, they will soon begin receiving the significant bills for funeral expenses, emergency medical expenses, and other final arrangements. Please prayerfully consider the needs of this family and what you are able to contribute to help them out. All funds received through this fundraiser will directly benefit the Thiessen family. Thank you.

Into thy hands, O merciful Saviour, we commend the soul of thy servant, Matt, now departed from the body. Acknowledge, we humbly beseech thee, a sheep of thine own fold, a lamb of thine own flock, a sinner of thine own redeeming. Receive him into the arms of thy mercy, into the blessed rest of everlasting peace, and into the glorious company of the saints in light. Amen.
