Last night Russell Freeman, our worship pastor, went to be with Jesus. Our prayers and thoughts are with the Freeman family. Russell had a heart attack almost 5 months ago and has been unconscious throughout this entire time. Russell served here at First Baptist Church for over 4 years and has been dearly loved and has taken our worship ministry to new and amazing heights. On a personal note, I have never known anyone so genuine and kind. We only got the opportunity to be around him for about a month, but he touched our lives so deeply. From bringing us KFC the night we moved in, to standing in his driveway till midnight talking about his heart to lead people into true worship, to sitting in the worship services he led and being in awe of God, he truly touched our lives. We will definitely miss Russell but how exciting that he is with the King of Kings worshiping with all his heart.
