Matt's Thanksgiving Service - Saturday 7 January 2012

After Matthew was told that nothing more could be done to make him well, he had a good week at home which he spent with family and saw a few friends. He also wrote down his wishes for a thanksgiving service for his life. His health deteriorated quite rapidly and on Thursday 22nd December he died at home. 

Matt communicated to us that he was not afraid and that he knew all the way that God was with him. Matthew was not in pain. Matt will be much missed but he is now more alive than ever in the immediate presence of his Lord and Saviour.

We would like to invite everyone reading this blog to join us in celebrating Matthew's life in a thanksgiving service on Saturday 7th January 2012 at 12 o'clock in St Mary's church Frinton-on-sea. Please check www.stmarysfrinton.org for directions. We would be so pleased if you could attend.

Matthew requested that if possible, black should not be worn.

Thank you for your support and interest during the past year.

We are looking forward to welcoming as many of you as possible .

David and Gisa (Matt's parents)

    As I live in Peru it will be impossible to be there in body but I will be thinking of you.

    When I though of or prayed for Matt, Psalm 30 always came to my mind.

    I would like to "dedicate" 2 Corinthians 4:7-10 to you - I've always found it comforting, strengthening and challenging.

    It would be pleasing to have further contact.
